About the Instructor, Putnam’s Master Gardener, Lia
Lia has always been fascinated by nature. After growing up in Colorful Colorado, she found herself in the Adirondacks and fell in love with the Northeast; the lifestyle, the millions of mountains and lakes, and the flora/fauna surrounding them. While traveling and cooking in Alaska, Montana and Telluride, Lia learned a deeper sense of appreciation for the plants surrounding her, and often found herself wishing she knew more about them. This curiosity turned into a hobby, identifying plants for fun, and from there, a full-blown need to know everything about them. She decided to leave seasonal life and settle down in the beautiful Connecticut River Valley. Here, she became Certified in Sustainable Landscape Design and eventually became a Master Gardener for the state of Vermont. Devoted to her craft, she spends her summers gardening and teaching here at Putnam’s Vineyard or in the White Mountains, where she enjoys kayaking and birding.
Lia plans to continue learning about the world around her for many years to come, and hopes you will join her on this journey!
