Nina Koziol, featured garden writer for the Chicago Tribune
“The Gardener as Artist”
Perhaps you can't draw a straight line or you don't consider yourself artistic, but every gardener has an inner artist. We create 3-dimensional landscapes filled with color, texture, contrasts and much more. Come get inspired as Nina presents some of the most interesting gardens and gardeners and explores how they express their inner artist through plants.
About Nina - she's a long-time contributor to the Chicago Tribune's Home & Garden section, and a columnist (Gardening 101) and feature writer for Chicagoland Gardening magazine, Nina teaches garden design and horticulture classes at the Chicago Botanic Garden and for other organizations and clubs. Her articles have appeared in Old-House Journal, Old-House Interiors, Aquascape Lifestyles and other publications.
