Mavis Butterfield was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest (although she's always trying to convince her husband to move to the East coast). She's been known to grow several tons of food in her backyard and has transformed her suburban home into a gardener's paradise (even with an HOA!). Passionate about digging in the dirt, Mavis offers her readers witty and practical guidance on how to garden and grow their own food.
