Jacqueline Cross
Ms. Cross is a freelance writer and when not writing or traveling and reading for research, she enjoys creating various gardens on her property. Much of her work can be found at Dave's Garden, where she enjoys sharing her gardening articles and stories.
A gardener at heart, she has created various types of gardens in several zones throughout the southern US and loves gardens filled with heirloom plants.
When trapped inside due to foul weather, she makes quilts and enjoys needlepoint. She also likes to use her imagination to create decorative murals on the walls of her home. She will paint most anything if it stands still long enough.
Last, but certainly not least, Ms. Cross loves spending time with her children and grandchildren. She lives in the panhandle of Florida with her poodles and cat and frequently travels to the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee.
