Carol Reese spent 4 decades as part of the academic community but says her most valuable education came from her farm girl roots and her nearly 70 years of gardening (yes, she started as a toddler!). During her career as a horticulture specialist for the University of Tennessee, she developed a teaching style that incorporates humor, storytelling, and science, leading to a reputation as an entertaining speaker that has resulted in numerous nationwide speaking engagements.

She produced copious articles for gardening magazines and newspapers that appealed to knowledgeable gardeners and to all who celebrate the beautiful intricacies of floral and faunal interactions out there in the real “real world”.  While not known to pull punches, her genuine love for nature shines through, along with her desire to unite all on the larger planetary problems of urbanization, loss of green space, pesticide overuse, resource abuse, pollution, and greed.
