BOTANNI Anni Jack - Gardener, Artist, Educator

Saturday fall gardening class!

Join us at the Victory Branch on Saturday, September 27 at 2pm for Fall Gardening in the Treasure Valley! Master Gardener Anni Jack will be at the library to talk about autumn plants and pollinator-friendly garden clean up before leaves start dropping!

Just a quick introduction as BOTANNI 😊

Things have been brewing over here for a minute and I decided to just put it out there mid-process (which is freaking painful while in perfectionism recovery 😉).

I have been working on starting a business that is inclusive of my future plans instead of only gardening - gardening, education, and art work. Hence, BOTANNI llc!

I am continuing to garden and get my hands dirty and finding the pretties in the landscape. I have purchased the books to get certified in pest management and broaden my planty wisdom! There is a lot on the horizon for me and I am excited to share my imperfect Anni escapades in the process…

“A challenge in raising the profile of this tallgrass ecosystem is that so much of it is underground and therefore difficult to visualize. Enter photography.”

Digging Deep Reveals the Intricate World of Roots If you’ve ever driven past wild prairie grasses swaying in the Kansas breeze and felt a wave of appreciation for America’s heartland, you should know that those visible grasses are just the tip of the iceberg. “We’re pretty blind to what’s going on beneath the soil,” says photographer Ji...
