By the time Fran graduated from the University of Chicago, she knew that she wanted to combine her passion for living creatively with a deep desire to help people experience more fulfilling lives. She has spent more than 30 years studying, researching, experimenting, and working on her self and with clients on getting to their authentic creative selves.

When Fran decided she wanted to share her passion for using gardening as a conduit for living creatively, she approached the local Fox TV station in Philadelphia about doing some gardening TV features and immediately became a fixture on the TV circuit. She spent years as a gardening authority on Philadelphia’s Fox and NBC stations, was the regular gardening contributor on NBC’s Weekend Today Show, and made several appearances on CNN, MSNBC, Lifetime, HGTV, DIY, and the Discovery Channel. She has also been a celebrity spokesperson for OurHouse.com, MSNBC, and Garden Weasel.
