The son, grandson, and great-grandson of farmers and gardeners, Douglas L. Bishop, the chief editor of
gardenvoice.com, was born and raised on a small farm in east Tennessee. Much of his love for and his knowledge of gardening came from those early days. He received a degree in Forestry from the University of Tennessee and has worked in some aspect of horticulture or landscape management all his life.
This website combines three of Doug's ongoing interests: gardening, writing, and photography. It is his sincere hope that this site will be a source of useful information, a catalyst for seeking additional information, and a comfortable place to visit for inspiration and entertainment.
