Don't you wish you could go back in time, and prevent your plants from failing in the first place? Common mistakes and misnomers in gardeners are still rampant throughout the Treasure Valley, and these things are easy to prevent if you're armed with the right information. Learn how to avoid everyday pitfalls in the garden and keep your plants healthy and thriving with Sierra Laverty, the Idaho Plant Doctor. In 2021, Sierra worked with over 100 local gardeners as a Plant Health Consultant and Garden Coach. As a professional horticulturist, she's seen almost every mistake in the book (and made many of them herself)! Knowledge is power---learn something new and set your garden up for success.

Sierra Laverty is a 6th generation Idahoan and a professional horticulturist. She received a B.S. in Horticulture from Oregon State University, and is now a Masters in Entomology candidate with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. As a natural born learner, Sierra's philosophy is to use science and evidence-based experience to care for plants in the best way possible. After overseeing the plant health and horticulture volunteer programs at the Idaho Botanical Garden, she started Idaho Plant Doctor, a plant health consulting and garden coaching business. Sierra is an INLA Certified Plant Diagnostician.
