•   Shelley Cramm loves to see the ancient words of Scripture come alive in today’s gardens. She is the author of My Father is the Gardener, writes regularly for her Devotions Blog and speaks to garden clubs and faith groups about plants of the Bible and the garden connection. Her background includes a Master of Architecture, work in architectural and garden design, and leadership of Bible study groups, Toastmasters International, and Garden Communicators International. Inspiration to write about plants grew out of a routine of morning journaling and an enduring hope to finish the laundry and get out to the garden.

•   Michael Perry, AKA Mr. Plant Geek, hails from the U&K and is a fun and cheeky persona who has been involved in gardening and plants since he was just five years old. Mr. Plant Geek encompasses both an online and TV personality. He also fronts a successful blog and has created a unique range of clothing and accessories made for “Plant Geeks.” His book is Hortus Curious, a visual menagerie of the weirdest and wackiest plant species, written in a very accessible way.

•   Charlotte Ekker Wiggins is an award-winning author, beekeeper and gardener. Her one acre Missouri garden, where her neighbors said nothing would grow, is now a Monarch Way Station, Certified Wildlife Habitat and working apiary. She featured how she developed Bluebird Gardens April 2019 in her TEDx “why bugs matter.”  As a Master Gardener Emeritus, she focuses on native plants that provide food and cover for native bees and other pollinators. She is also a Great Plains Master Beekeeping Certified Master Beekeeper, developing books and classes to help beekeepers learn scientifically based best management practices. She keeps native and honey bees, mostly outdoors."
