Troy Marden is gaining notoriety as a top authority on gardening and its related subjects. From his work as a designer, to his popularity as a co-host of Nashville Public Television's Volunteer Gardener and his appearances in numerous local, regional and national gardening magazines, to lecturing at trade shows and gardening events around the country, Troy has taken what began as a childhood dream and turned it into a career that has taken him throughout North America and around the globe.
An avid, lifelong gardener, Troy learned early on the ins and outs of everyday gardening from family and friends. He sowed his first seeds, literally, at the age of three and the resulting trees still stand at his parents' home.
From his grandfather's tomato patch to the nursery he worked in during his high school and college years to stints at some of the country's best-known botanical gardens, it's no wonder that Troy's career has become so multi-faceted as to include award-winning garden design, a hit television show, popularity as a lecturer and educator for both experienced and new gardeners alike, writing, photography, floral design and more. And through all of this he has stayed true to his passion--the desire to share his love of all things green with others.
