Since I started my potted garden, gardening has crept into my life to the point of becoming my favorite hobby. I am fascinated by seeing how plants grow, how they adapt to the climate, how they flower and fruit. I enjoy taking care of them, pruning them, watering them and fertilizing them. Every day I learn something new about them and about myself. Previously, professionally, I had studied different agricultural topics to write about them. I was interested in the history, economics, ecology and technology related to the field. I even wrote a book: One Hundred Years of Agricultural Technique, focused on the evolution of Agriculture in the Valencian Community. In it, I reviewed the main milestones, challenges and achievements of Valencian farmers from the 20th century to the present. Now, I combine my passion for gardening with my work as a plant writer. I write articles, reviews, advice and curiosities about all types of plant species. I like to share my experience and knowledge with other gardening enthusiasts, and also learn from them.
