Though they come from different backgrounds, they both have an extreme passion for all things gardening. With the addition of these garden gurus, the Cottage Farms team is ready to tackle any gardening project you can dream up! All about Katie… Katie Dubow is creative director at Garden Media Group, a public relations firm specializing in the home and garden industry and celebrating its 30th year in business. Author of the annual Garden Trends Report, Katie travels the world scouting and presenting garden trends to audiences from Italy to Chicago.

Katie received a degree in communications from Northeastern University where she was also a Division I rower on the crew team. Katie lives and gardens in West Chester, PA with her husband, two daughters, one dog, and six chickens.

Find her in the garden with her children, practicing yoga or dancing to Zumba. But for a very few creases around the eyes, you'd probably never guess his age. The guy is still a looker, and let's be honest, this certainly doesn't hurt in the workplace, especially when one is smart and ambitious.

Many in the audience are whispering things like "Oh my God, he's so cute," because even from the back of the hall, you can make out the details of his elegant figure:. Tall, golden tan, fat surgically removed from the eyelids, beach-blond hair that gets a little assist now and then, boyish bangs, super-white teeth thanks to a friend who showed him how to bleach at home , and buff.

If he misses his daily one-hour workout, he goes to the gym twice the next day! You have to look good for TV, and oh yeah!

He's now just six minutes away, door to door. Meanwhile, he's been gutting the new house and starting from scratch on the garden, which is already taking shape on his 1? In his new place, he's also closer to Greenwich, Conn. Ten to 20 acres in Greenwich is shorthand for gazillionaire, and judging from the turrets and waterfront views in Pleasure Gardens, Watson's self-published book, he works with a virtual blank check.

On the topic of annuals, for example, he explains, "My clients spend more on annuals than most people spend on entire landscaping jobs.

Before Greenwich, Watson's biggest break was meeting his "mentor and tormentor" — the exacting Rosemary Verey, one of the most influential garden designers and authors of the '80s and '90s. Watson met Verey in at a design conference in the south of France, having hatched a plan in advance to get her attention and not let go. She could learn nothing from me. She liked me. The two eventually became friends, and Verey, who died in , proved an invaluable muse and promoter.

One of her best pieces of advice: "Design a garden as if you're looking through the lens of a camera. There should be something interesting in every view. Here's something interesting: Watson's view of himself. I can't stand not being the best and I cannot tolerate criticism," he says pleasantly.
