About Us

We Find Inspiration in Nature

​At Rose Cottage Gardens, we believe that the natural world holds the key to a life well-lived. It's a source of endless beauty, wisdom, and inspiration—one that has the power to transform us in profound and unexpected ways.

Our journey began with a simple desire to connect more deeply with the world around us. As lifelong learners and passionate nature enthusiasts, we wanted to create a space where we could share our love of gardening, explore its rich history, and inspire others to cultivate a more meaningful relationship with the earth.

Our Story

For over three decades, I worked in the C-suite of companies focused on over-the-counter (OTC) drugs and supplements. While I found success in my career, I felt a growing desire to connect more deeply with the natural world.  I traded my suit for gardening gloves and found my true calling among the whispering pines, giant oaks, and crashing waves of coastal Maine.

 

Welcome to Rose Cottage Gardens, where ancient wisdom meets modern green thumbs, and every seed planted is a step into history and a journey into the future.

Living in Coastal Maine transformed me in ways I never expected. Surrounded by the soothing rhythm of the ocean and the wisdom of old-growth forests, I have developed a profound appreciation for the beauty and mysteries of nature and a love of gardening.

This passion inspired me to create Rose Cottage Gardens. In this space, I can share my journey of discovery and learning with others, regardless of age or location, who feel a similar call to explore the wonders of the natural world.

Our blog series, "Gardening Through the Ages, " is at the heart of Rose Cottage Gardens. Starting with Ancient Egypt, we delve into the fascinating history of how gardening and food production have shaped human civilization throughout different eras. Our research takes us on a captivating journey through time, culminating in examining gardening trends and practices in our current decade.

In addition to exploring the rich history of gardening, we are passionate about sharing practical information and tools with our readers. Whether you are an experienced green thumb or a curious beginner, we aim to provide valuable information, resources, and inspiration to support your gardening adventures.

Through Rose Cottage Gardens, I found a way to combine my decades of experience in business with my deep love for nature and learning. I invite you to join me on this journey as we uncover the timeless wisdom of the earth and celebrate the joy of nurturing growth in all its forms.

 

Together, let us cultivate a community that honors the beauty and resilience of the natural world. So, welcome to Rose Cottage Gardens, and enjoy your time here.
