Karen Hager has been writing our "Down to Earth" gardening column since May 2011.
She is an avid gardener whose passion for the hobby was cultivated by her mother. Karen is now passing on that love to her young son and grows vegetables and flowers for her family of three. She encourages experimenting and sharing.
Her column runs every other Saturday in the Extra section.
