Welcome!

I'm Jen, a.k.a Frau Zinnie (Mrs. Zinnia). I'm a huge proponent of organic gardening methods. I like to grow my own food and ornamental plants as well. I also make an effort to garden for wildlife, including our very important pollinators!

At FrauZinnie.com, you will find updates on my gardening experiences, as well as interviews with experts and recaps of visits to gorgeous gardens.
