About Ruth Rogers Clausen
Ruth is one of the most experienced horticulturists I’ve met, and also one of the most modest people I know. Coincidentally, one of the things she is really snooty about is garden gloves. Since she loves her Womanswork gloves, and will issue a disdainful sniff about most other brands, we hit it off right away.

Ruth grew up in Wales and studied horticulture at Studley College in England. She has contributed greatly to her profession as a writer of tomes (Perennials for American Gardens, Random House); an editor of gardening magazines; and a lecturer, advisor and judge for botanical gardens and flower shows all across the country and around the world.
Ruth gardens in Westchester County, NY (Zone 6) where she grows an eclectic range of plants. Her plant choices reflect those plants that do well in her region and throughout the northeast.
Ruth’s columns for the Womanswork Blog offer practical advice tied to the seasons.
