Brent Hollowell is a gardening writer who enjoys helping readers build healthier, more resilient gardens through practical, easy-to-follow advice. He writes about vegetable gardening, landscaping, lawn care, composting, and soil improvement, along with projects for building a garden that can hold up in extreme heat, harsh winters, or unpredictable weather. Brent is especially interested in plants that solve a specific problem, whether that's heat-tolerant flowers for a blazing summer, low-maintenance shrubs for privacy, or trees that should never be planted too close to a house. He also writes about organic pest control, common plant diseases, and the gardening myths that tend to get repeated even though they don't hold up, along with lighter features on unusual plants and exotic fruits that home gardeners can grow themselves. In his free time, Brent likes to actually build the things he writes about, whether that means framing a new raised bed, patching a fence line, or figuring out a better layout for the backyard before planting season starts. He enjoys grilling on the weekends, especially when there's something fresh from the garden to go with it, and he's a regular at the local plant nurseries, usually leaving with something he didn't plan on buying. Brent also spends a fair amount of time outdoors with his family, whether that's a weekend bike ride, a trip to a nearby park, or just an evening spent working in the yard together before it gets dark.
