THE MASTER GARDENER


H. Robin Milliken is
The Master Gardener.

He is the H and the R in
H & R Lawn and Landscape

Robin Milliken is a Landsape Specialist and Master Gardener.

In the Landscape Specialist part of his job, Robin deals daily with the large scale planting, landscape construction, crew management, and general operation of H & R Lawn & Landscape.

As The Master Gardener, he gets to explore gardening and landscaping on a personal level, just like all the rest of us. He tries things, new varieties. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. With the help of his loosely knit "Garden Friend Network", these and other year-round garden, floral and landscape issues are examined in a way the casual gardener can relate to. The Master Gardener is helpful and informative in a folksy, fun and down-to-earth way.

Here, you can read two years worth of Master Gardener columns.
