About the speaker:
Megan Grimaldi is a store manager at Moore and Moore Garden Center in Nashville. She grew up outside of Charlotte, NC and began learning about gardening from her mother at a young age. Megan attended Central Piedmont Community College to further her knowledge of the green industry while working in several garden centers and a wholesale nursery. Since moving to the Nashville area, her love of Tennessee native plants has blossomed. Megan and her husband have created an oasis of perennial plants featured on Volunteer Gardener.
