About Christy
Christy Wilhelmi is the driving force behind Gardenerd. Her obsession with gardening began in 1996 on the balcony of her Los Angeles, California apartment.
She eventually became a member of Ocean View Farms Organic Community Garden in Mar Vista, California and served on the Board of Directors from 1998-2020. She specializes in small-space, organic vegetable garden design, consulting, and classes. Between 70-80 percent of her family’s produce comes from her garden of less than 300 square feet.
She is author of Gardening for Geeks (Fox Chapel Publishing), 400+ Tips for Organic Gardening Success (Amazon Digital), Grow Your Own Mini Fruit Garden (Cool Springs Press, April 2021), and her debut novel Garden Variety (William Morrow/Harper Collins, April 2022).
