Fran West was born in 1950 to horticulturally-gifted parents who introduced her to the love of gardening at an early age. After her first pruning tips from the late landscape architect, Owen Schmidt of Philadelphia, Fran knew she had found her niche. Longwood Gardens’ Ornamental Plant study program provided an important foundation of plant knowledge. For sixteen years, Fran was a pruning specialist for private gardens in Baltimore, Maryland. She now lives in the Boston area, concentrating on writing, lecturing and conducting pruning workshops around the country.
