About the Expert

Expert: Doug Smiddy has had an active interest in gardening as long has he can remember. "When people ask me haw long I've been gardening, I like to tell them that I've had the dirt under my fingernails since I was a kid. Perhaps I should wash them!" Having worked for a very popular garden center and nursery for over 6 years, and becoming a certified Master Gardener in 2004, he now owns his own successful business, Smiddy's Gardening Services, a very "in-demand" local company. "I think that the greatest pleasure I get is from giving lectures at local libraries, and from teaching kids about gardening when I work with the 4H clubs here in Vermont. It's true what they say, to teach is to learn."
