Eileen Ward owned and operated her lawn maintenance and landscaping company on Marco Island, Florida for 40 years. The company was just sold in November of 2021. She was one of the few women who actually worked in the field full time which allowed her to become very knowledgeable about tropical horticultural practices and problems. In addition, she has been writing a gardening column for the local newspaper for almost 30 years. At various times she has been a Florida Certified Horticultural Professional and held licenses through the Florida Department of Agriculture.

Her next venture is to become The Wicked Gardener through her online video gardening show using the columns written over the last 30 years as material for the videos. These videos will be fun, instructional and inspirational. So tune in and be inspired!
