Jacki Kellum is an artist, author, and avid gardener who is currently living in the Ozark Mountains.
Jacki’s gardens are not tidy and manicured affairs. Rather, they are true cottage gardens where vegetables, flowers, roses, and water features are closely intertwined, This blog Cottage Garden Living is a representation of some of the things that she has learned along the way, entwined with images from her own garden. Jacki Kellum attributes much of her love of gardening to her grandmother, who greatly influenced her childhood, and to celebrate her own childhood, she writes and illustrates for children. Her debut picture book will be released in 2022.
