Peace Rose

Welcome, I'm glad you're here. I’m Marion Owen and I live in Kodiak, Alaska with my husband, Marty. No matter where you call home, thanks for connecting. Perhaps we've met. I've worked on research ships, created photos that hang in The Smithsonian, and I follow a whole-food, plant-based diet. I love taking pictures of bumblebees and snowflakes. And I'm humbled to say that the book I co-authored, Chicken Soup for the Gardener’s Soul, spent 3 months on the New York Times bestseller list. Exciting stuff. Cheers and blessings.

I love the way you write about your garden, gardening, and general goodness, Marion. Nourishing, on so many levels. Thank you for brightening my day. -- Leslie
