About Alex Worley

Welcome to my world of gardening, growing fruit and vegetables.

I’m Alex Worley, the owner and main creator of the gardening guides on Gardenine. I’m from Kent, Washington, but I move around quite a bit to experience the world.

My gardening journey and love for plants started back in 2011 as an apprentice gardener at the Outback Nursery in Baxley, Appling County, Georgia. Here, I got first-hand experience in plant care and gardening and soon became very good at helping plant moms and dads grow healthy houseplants and start vegetable and fruit gardens in their backyards.

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Sustainable Agriculture from Andrew College in Georgia. I’m also a certified master gardener having completed the Georgia Master Gardener Extension Volunteer Program in 2019.

I’m happy my education reinforced my hands-on experience as a gardener and plant care expert.

I spend a lot of my time around plants and greenscapes as I help gardening enthusiasts build their backyard gardens, select, grow, and care for their plants. My absolute happy place is creating helpful plant care guides for my readers and plant moms and dads that I interact with.
