Elizabeth has enjoyed teaching at Clackamas Community College since 1983. Her greatest joys have been the successes of her students who have become successful owners and managers of horticultural businesses, and developed their gardening abilities growing trees, shrubs, herbs, perennials, and vegetables. Elizabeth serves as faculty advisor for horticulture majors, helping students develop their educational plans and select courses. Elizabeth is a frequent lecturer for Master Gardeners, and writes a monthly garden column for Horticulture, the nations oldest and finest gardening magazine, and this information serves gardeners in the Pacific Northwest.
