Scott Daigre spent most of his young life in Louisiana and then moved to the West Coast to start a career in horticulture. He’s led garden tours around the world, spoken at garden shows, and designed landscapes throughout Southern California through his company, Powerplant Garden Design. He also founded/owns and produces Tomatomania!, a springtime series of pop-up tomato sales that has been held in five states and thirty cities. He published a guide on growing tomatoes (with recipes) called Tomatomania! A Fresh Approach to Celebrating Tomatoes in the Garden and in the Kitchen. Scott now lives in Ojai, California, with his partner, Sam, a couple of energetic Australian shepherds, a growing flock of doves and chickens—and, of course, a huge garden.
