A quick introduction about me, Aaron Steil (that's pronounced like the word "style" - do you get the title of the website now!?!):

I am a public garden professional working at Reiman Gardens in Ames, Iowa. 

I teach horticulture and gardening both at the Gardens as well as at Iowa State University

I love teaching and speaking to groups about all things plants, gardening and horticulture 

I have been gardening since grade school - I got my start growing flowers for 4-H to show at the county fair

I grew up in Iowa and currently live in the great city of Des Moines. 

What I love most about horticulture is that there is always something new to learn, always something beautiful to see, and always friendly people to talk with - it's a great profession to be involved with!

Please check in regularly. You'll be sure to find great advice and great plants - all to expand your love of gardening.
