I’ve been absent from this website for a few months, and I must admit I genuinely miss sharing here. I’ve been posting about my houseplants and my garden on Instagram, but the ephemeral nature of that platform is just not the same.
But since I write for a living, by the time the end of the work day rolls around and I’m done with client work, all I want to do is go out in the garden with a glass of wine (or a pitcher of lemonade) and bask in the glorious sunlight.
Do you want a pickle plant too? Here are ten stores that sell the pickle plant (Delosperma echinatum) in the United States.
During the past couple of months, I wrote for a variety of projects – from city marketing to tech startups to travel. I even dabbled in a bit of kid lit and flash fiction. But with Green with Purpose being a blog about growing things, here are a few of the posts I published as a plant and gardening writer. Oh, and by the way, if you’re looking for a plant writer, get in touch.

I also consulted with a plant-sharing app on content strategy and worked with another AI plant app on magazine-style launch materials. Most days, my work life revolves around reading, learning, writing and talking about plants; and most days it feels like I’m living the (green-thumbed) dream.
There are so many things that I want to share, so I think I’ll do it in a micro-post format for the time being. That’s how I got into blogging, oh, I don’t know, about a million years ago (actually circa 2006-ish, but I’ve seriously lost track). And microblogs (such as kottke, Cup of Jo, swiss miss, and The Jealous Curator) are about the only blogs that I’ve been consistently following for at least 15 years. I only wish I had their stamina.
