About Ruth Gonzalez: Ruth grew up running a little wild in her family’s woods and watching the sunshine glittering on the bay in front of her home. An artist, occasional garden consultant & designer, and an NC Certified Plant Professional – Ruth has actively gardened since her college years and has worked at Reems Creek Nursery since 2003. Organic gardening, pollinator habitat, and the wonders of the natural world are her passions. She serves on the Bee City USA-Asheville/Ashville Butterfly Trail Steering Committees. She is especially inspired by those gardening practices that nurture the planet & its creatures, and by gardens that reignite our connection to beauty, delight, and all of nature.
