Cynthia has lived in Ohio her whole life and was born just about a mile outside the town of Sunbury. She learned gardening from her grandfather, who could grow anything he put his mind to. She has always lived in the country and every year she grows about a 2000sq ft vegetable garden, and cans or freezes a lot of the harvest. She has a small flower and herb garden, many house plants including orchids and African violets. She lives with her 2 dogs, 16 chickens, 2 african clawed frogs and a fish named squirt.
