I am Jeff, I live in Michigan and enjoy nature and grow many wild flowers. I just began publishing a series of e-books, after I was encouraged to do so by others who heard me talk about growing wildflowers. I will be working on the other books in the series. I hope you enjoy all the books; please leave a review for me! Thank you for stopping by!
