Our publisher and  editor is a professional garden writer with national credits and more than 30 years’ experience writing and editing, plus a degree in horticulture and Advanced Master Gardener certification. And most of our contributors are green-industry pros with real-life experience right here in the St. Louis area who have great ideas to share. Here are the people behind the professional advice and helpful information you’ll find in every issue of The Gateway Gardener magazine.
