Hi there, I am Marion! I’ve been gardening for decades, so I’ve pulled my hair out over a few seasons, wondering what I did wrong. And yes, I’ve returned to the nursery to buy replacement plants more times than I’d like to admit…

I knew there had to be a better, easier way to grow seedlings without all the guesswork and stress. So I spent 10 years experimenting with starting seeds, talking with experts, trying new techniques, and letting go of all of the standard gardening “rules” that just didn’t work…

Bit by proven bit, I crafted the 'Seed-Starting Secrets' workshop around my High-Five method to clear up all the confusing and conflicting information out there.

I’ve found this High-Five Method is the most effective way to help all gardeners repeatedly and successfully raise a family of plants without pulling their hair out or sneaking back to the nursery (like me!) to buy replacement plants…

For over 30 years, I've helped gardeners around the world through my classes, weekly organic gardening columns, and international conferences as a keynote speaker and workshop presenter.

My photographs have been featured by the Nature Conservancy, Reader's Digest, and The Smithsonian. I also co-authored Chicken Soup for the Gardener's Soul, which spent three happy months on The New York Times bestseller list.

Gardeners deserve a tried-and-true method for starting seeds that actually work. Seed-Starting Secrets follows my proven, no-nonsense "High-Five" method that I developed after years of experience and trial and error, and it will give you the garden of your dreams. No confusion, no stress, no guesswork. Just beautiful, thriving seedlings that mature into beautiful, thriving plants in your garden.
