I’m glad I did and since then we have gotten to know each other better. Lynn and I share a passion for roses, for perennials, for mixing them up, for bees and a love of England. Her husband is a Brit and my late Mother-in-law was a Brit and my Wife and I love everything British.<\/p>\n

Lynn’s writing ranges to so many interesting topics that it’s always a delight to see what she is going to blog, or write, about next. \u00a0Her own blog is called The Dirt Diaries<\/a> but Lynn’s writing resume extends well beyond that.<\/p>\n

So, I’ll let her tell you about herself. Lynn, over to you!<\/p>\n

“I am\u00a0a gung ho gardener mostly fanatical about roses, but will consider accepting other worthy and interesting plants into my\u00a0North Carolina cottage garden (aka my\u00a0\u201ctidy mess\u201d as the Brits like to say.)<\/em><\/p>\n

When not up to my\u00a0elbows in soil, I\u00a0write about gardening for publications ranging from Fine Gardening and Better Homes & Gardens to The Christian Science Monitor. My\u00a0blog The Dirt Diaries<\/a> and articles for the Monitor have won Golden Trowel Awards.<\/em><\/p>\n

As an accredited Horticultural Judge for the American Rose Society, I\u00a0have judged the Queen of Flowers on two continents. I\u00a0currently serve as a member of the permanent jury\u00a0for the Biltmore International Rose Trials.<\/em><\/p>\n

In addition, I’m an international award-winning advertising copywriter and broadcast producer with clients including The Discovery Channel and White Flower Farm.”<\/em><\/p>\n

A few years ago I asked Lynn to join us as part of the permanent jury of\u00a0the Biltmore International Rose Trials.
