Meet Marion
Hi, I’m Marion — gardener, bumblebee fan, and your guide for this class.
I’ve been gardening organically for over 40 years in one of the trickiest climates you can imagine: Kodiak, Alaska.
Along the way, I co-authored Chicken Soup for the Gardener’s Soul (a New York Times bestseller) and have been sharing weekly tips for nearly as long through workshops, a newspaper column, and now on my YouTube channel, The UpBeet Gardener.
I know what it’s like to feel stuck and frustrated in the garden. My goal is simple: to give you practical, hands-in-the-dirt wisdom you can put to work right away to grow the abundant garden you’ve been dreaming of.
See you inside!
