Born in England to a family of botanists and gardeners\, she grew up in the countryside and designed her first herb garden at age sixteen. She moved with her American husband to the Philadelphia area and has gardened there ever since. Her degrees are in Biology\, Horticulture\, and Education\, so Jenny Rose brings a strong teaching background to her writing and her presentations. \nProfessionally\, Jenny has been Director of two public gardens: The Ambler Arboretum of Temple University and the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society’s Garden at Meadowbrook Farm. She is now devoting her time to writing\, speaking\, and tending her four-and-a-half-acre garden called Northview. \nJenny has authored three gardening books: Glorious Shade; The Ultimate Flower Gardener’s Guide; and The Essential Guide to Bulbs: Grow a Bounty of Beautiful Bulbs in Gardens and Containers. The Essential Guide to Bulbs will be available to the public in mid-October 2025 and will be available for purchase at the lecture. \nCheck out Jenny’s Instagram sites (@jennyrosecarey & @northviewgarden) and websites (jennyrosecarey.com & beforeyougarden.com).
