One of Noelle Johnson’s fondest childhood memories is of growing flowers in her own little garden plot in Southern California. Years later, she met her future husband and moved to Arizona, where she made her first grown-up attempt at gardening. Like many gardeners, she met her fair share of failure early on, so she began reading gardening books for her region. Soon after, she received a degree in Urban Horticulture from Arizona State University, and later earned a certificate as a certified arborist.

As a horticulturalist, Noelle has worked for multiple golf courses, small communities, property management companies and a major homebuilder. Her current and favorite job is working as a landscape consultant (or garden coach), as well as writing about gardening.

In addition to her blog, Arizona Plant Lady, Noelle’s articles have appeared in newspapers, magazines and monthly newsletters. She has also spoken on such topics as hummingbird and butterfly gardening, citrus raising, low-maintenance gardening and veggie gardening for beginners. Because of her love in gardening, Noelle has also become interested in birds. She occasionally serves as a bird rehabilitator in her community and says her feeder is always full.
