About Clara
Clara Bennett grows edible flowers, herbs, and the occasional ambitious tomato on a small balcony in the Pacific Northwest. She started gardening in her late twenties on a fire escape in a city apartment, killed more basil than she would like to admit, and figured out through years of trial, error, and university extension reading what actually works in a tight space.
She writes practical beginner guides for renters, first-time gardeners, and anyone tired of garden books that assume an acre and a tractor.
Clara lives in a Portland-area townhouse with her husband and a rescue dog who has yet to learn that the calendulas are not a salad bar.
