About the Author

I'm Kelly Keating, the proud founder of Gardener Basics – a digital publication dedicated to helping you make your gardening dreams come true!

I believe that gardening nurtures not only plants but also the human soul. It teaches patience, fosters an appreciation for nature, and instills a sense of accomplishment when you see your hard work bear fruit (or flowers!).

As an everyday expert in home gardening and houseplants, I'm no stranger to the challenges that often accompany this rewarding hobby. Like many of you, I've grappled with stubborn pests, battled against plant diseases, and fretted over plants that just don't seem to thrive no matter what I try. The world of gardening is filled with trials and tribulations, but it's these very obstacles that have honed my skills and deepened my understanding of plant care.

Gardening at Gardener Basics is a family affair. My kids are just as passionate about it as I am. Their faces light up as they tend to our thriving vegetables and blossoming flowers every day. They find joy in each new sprout and bud, celebrating every little victory.

The kids have also taken up the mantle of protector of our green oasis, enthusiastically declaring "Thumbs down to aphids!" Their involvement has turned pest control into an exciting game and a lesson about the balance of nature.

Gardening is a way of life here now and we are constantly tackling new projects and plants. We'll be chronicling the failures and triumphs here so we can bring new ideas and tips regularly.

But my gardening journey doesn't stop at my own plant collection. I'm passionate about sharing what I've learned with others. Whether you're struggling with your first houseplant or looking to expand your outdoor garden, I'm here to help guide you through the process, sharing tips and advice gleaned from my own experiences.

My expert gardening advice has been featured in top publications like Today, Homes & Gardens, House Digest, Daily Express, and Ferry-Morse.
