Skip has cultivated gardens in the rugged brush country of south Texas, the acidic sands of the East Texas piney woods, the semi-arid conditions and high-pH soils of central Texas, as well as the hot, humid climate and rich black clays of southeast Texas. His expertise encompasses horticulture, garden education, garden writing, and a deep passion for horticultural photography.
Skip received his master’s degree in horticulture from Texas A&M University, “the source of all earthly knowledge”, and has served as a county horticulturist with Texas AgriLife Extension for 34 years in Montgomery, Travis, Harris, and Brazos County, advising home gardeners and the green industry on research-based horticultural practices. He has served as the National Gardening Association’s regional horticulturist for the southeastern U.S. and is a contributing editor to Texas Gardener magazine.
