With a background in the Fine Arts and a love for gardening, Midwest native Brenda Haas created the BGgarden web site with aspirations of sharing the creative aspects of growing green. Over the past 2 years she has been sharing life in the garden through her photography on the web.

Dabbling in the arts at a young age by attending studies at the Toledo Museum of Art and Detroit Institute of Art was an important part for Brenda in discovering how to express herself with her talent to create. She was one of five to be accepted at the Chicago School of the Arts fresh out of her small private High School in Ohio. In the late 90's Brenda had left the theater where she created stage and custome design, finding herself planted in the heartland with the love of her life.

With much pleasure, she took on the role of a mother raising her children where she grew up in the Midwest. This didn't stop her from inspiring as she started art programs for the youth in local civic groups. While the children grew, so did Brenda's love for gardening as she discovered she could make a garden retreat in her own surroundings. Maxing out a 80' x 66' picket fenced yard in a typical 'Norman Rockwell' town, nothing would keep her from expanding. To no surprise Brenda later found herself out in a country garden with close to 20 acres to nurture. This is where she discovered the BGgarden BLOG.

In 2009, Brenda began selling images to garden publications and became a contributor to the Garden World Report.

She looks forward to 2010 and many new adventures in creative gardening and helping others to discover the benefits of growing green.
