John Evans has gardened in Ireland, Wales, the Philippines, Minnesota, Arizona, and his current home of Alaska. But his first gardening experience was following his grandmother while she would do her weeding. He was growing Sweet William to sell at the market by the time he was 8. It is almost as if he was born to grow things.
