Megan Carlisle

Megan Carlisle is a gardening and outdoor living writer who enjoys helping readers create beautiful, functional spaces they can enjoy throughout the year. She writes about flower gardens, vegetable growing, landscaping, container gardening, and indoor plants, along with hands-on outdoor living projects like building a backyard fire pit or setting up a rainwater harvesting system. Megan also likes digging into the more practical side of plant care, covering topics like soil pH, light requirements, seedling mistakes to avoid, and how to revive a wilted or neglected plant before it's too late. She pays close attention to garden safety as well, writing about which common plants can be dangerous to pets and which pesticides deserve a second look before they're used around a home with children or animals. When she's not writing, Megan enjoys spending time by the lake near her home, usually with a paddleboard or a good book close by. She likes exploring local nurseries for plants she hasn't tried before, slowly building out a collection of houseplants on nearly every windowsill, and rearranging her patio furniture more often than is probably necessary. Megan also enjoys hosting small outdoor gatherings once her garden is in full bloom, taking photos of whatever is flowering that week, and spending long spring evenings outside simply watching what she's planted start to take shape.
