About This Blog

by Jacqueline D'Elia on August 2, 2009 · 3 comments

Welcome to Southern Post Journal (SouthernPost.net). I’m Jacqueline D’Elia and this blog chronicles my personal journey in gardening. I live in Houston Texas (Zone 9a) where heat and insects are especially challenging. I’m an Aggie with a BS in Horticulture from Texas A&M. I am an organic gardener, not because it is “in”, but because it makes sense and it’s the right thing to do. (If you’ve seen the movie Mindwalk, you understand.) I love clays pots, fall weather and water lilies. Join me as I share my personal experience in converting my urban space into a livable and sustainable garden. I’ve built three raised beds and am grow veggies in my three season garden.

I am the founder and President of Olive Barn, an eco-friendly garden home store  and the author of Growing Green + Living It™ Sustainable Living blog. You can also find me blogging on my Houston Chronicle’s Blog Boxed Dirt.

Need a Garden Coach? I’m available for gardening coaching and consulting in Houston. For more information please contact me.

Want an affordable, customizable blog like this one? I’m available for consulting work on a limited basis. Thank you for visiting.

Thank you for visiting my blog and I hope you’ll say hello and leave a comment. Remember Love Grows Whenever a Seed is Planted, so get out there and plant something.

Happy Gardening…
