My name is Grace, and I think of myself as a metaphorical gardener. I try to sow seeds of beauty wherever I go, so that I might prevent weeds from growing there. As Frances Hodgson Burnett says in The Secret Garden, “Where you tend a rose, my lad, a thistle may not grow.” My favorite way to tend roses is through sharing literature, and especially poetry. Here on Tending Roses, I hope to share beauty with you. 

I am a teacher at a small private school in California. That is where I like to do a lot of gardening, in the figurative sense. I have the best husband in the world and three beautiful children. In my spare time, I love to spend time with my family, read, write, take care of our exotic pets, and make crafts.
