About

Lorene Edwards Forkner is Planted at Home.

Freelance writer, visiting lecturer and erstwhile garden designer, Lorene revels in the seasonal pleasures and broad scope of gardening life in the Pacific Northwest affords.  Working from home and tending a small city garden provide Lorene with a living workshop and practical skills in her hands-on pursuit of color, textures, form and delicious flavor every day of the year.  A designer’s eye for re-purposing objects and a keen sense of conservation and thrift infuse Lorene’s efforts with personality, wit  and sustainability.
