Darlyne's fondest memory is gardening with her Mom Mom at the age of 7. In second grade, she planted zinnias in cardboard egg cartons and brought them home to be planted her city garden. She and her Mom Mom were so proud. One day in 1996, Darlyne saw an ad in the News Journal for Gateway Garden Center and Darlyne discovered plant heaven. She was "turned on" to water gardens and native plants.

On April 8, 2006, Darlyne joined the Gateway Garden Center family. Please join her in the love of water gardening.
