Who We Are
Rainy Side Gardeners started out as Debra Teachout-Teashon and Travis Saling, two Northwest gardeners and friends, who live about 60 miles apart in western Washington state. Prior to Rainy Side Gardeners, each had Web sites offering gardening resources, advice and help. In addition, both wrote gardening articles for other web sites. Debbie approached Travis about combining efforts and starting a new site. Over the course of a few years, they spent many hours talking about their gardens and giving each other advice. Eventually they came to realize that the other's gardening knowledge complemented their own quite well. Therefore, they combined their efforts, focused them more clearly, and created Rainy Side Gardeners.
After six years, Travis branched out with his own web site focusing on edible gardening in the maritime Pacific Northwest called West Side Gardener. Rainy Side Gardeners will be well linked up to its sister site (brother site?), West Side Gardener with valuable edible gardening information. Travis may not be participating in RSG as before but his handy work in how it works stays on.
We have writers that garden and live in the maritime Pacific Northwest. They share their gardening experiences with all of us, providing valuable articles with good gardening information to RSG..
Rainy Side Gardeners is expanding its Plant Gallery and Growing Guide to bring many more plants to know and grow in our maritime climate. We will continue to bring you gardening information specific to our region.
