Ellen Scheid has been in the garden since she was a young child with her father. She studied Natural Resource Management and Ecology at Indiana University, where her interest in native plants began. She has worked on building beneficial habitats for insects and wildlife for the past four years throughout the Northeast. She now works as an Outdoor Gardener at New England Botanic Garden where her work is focused on landscaping with native plants. She also works with private homeowners to create beneficial landscapes and alternative lawns with native plants.
