Amy Grant

Writer

After attending college at Western Washington University, Amy moved to the big city of Seattle where she was to spend the next 28 years; 15 as a chef and the remainder as a caterer. In between weddings and catered flagship launches, she found time to indulge her love of travel by visiting 22 countries.

The daughter of a Master Gardener, Amy’s interest in gardening could be termed genetic. For over 30 years she has babied houseplants, tended her own vegetable and herb gardens, planned and executed perennial gardens for clients, and even had a hand in creating her local community garden.

Amy’s passion for food and gardening intertwine in her garden filled with fruit trees, berry brambles, herbs and veggies fresh picked for her next culinary creation.

Her love of the written word led to her current career as a freelance garden writer of over 15 years. Despite having a Booker Award winning plot idea, she has as yet to write the great American novel.

Amy now resides in Eastern Washington with her partner, their rescue dog Lillybelle, a garden full of edible plants and perennial bloomers, and houseplants galore.
