JMJ IN THE NEWS


“Gardening brought her joy, and it enabled her to turn a negative situation into a positive one. By sharing that experience with others, she’s paying that positivity forward. Life may have given her lemons, but she is growing an “orchard” of other gardeners from the seeds she saved.”

“Jennymarie Jemison's garden is the joy of her friends, family, and thousands of Instagram followers. Luckily for those who prefer their flora to be edible, the constant gardener sells packets of her heirloom "Salad Days" seed collection – with ruby red lettuce leaf and slow bolt arugula and more – along with bull's blood beets and red-veined sorrel and, oh, see for yourself, green-thumbed citizen!”
