OUR HOE CREW

Donna Price

Donna has been gardening and landscaping for over 20 years using a strong ethos of organic practices. For 12 years she was the manager of the Organic Vegetable Garden at Warren Wilson College where she received an academic degree. Her interests lie in the use of native plants and edibles, with a focus on permaculture techniques. Donna's own garden includes a wealth of perennials, evergreens, vegetables and berries, as well as sculpture and stonework. As a metal and wood sculptor, her aesthetic gardening style is influenced by her art.

Donna strives to create a garden and landscape environment that captivates the imagination. She is The Dirty Hoe's head garden designer and field consultant.

Heidi Zednik

Heidi's approach to gardening and landscaping rests solidly in her artistic background as a painter. She sees a landscape as an extension of self-expression, unique to each individual. Her field experience includes years of creating and maintaining her private gardens, with several years of gardening experience in the Chapel Hill area during which time she earned a Master's of Fine Arts.

Heidi is The Dirty Hoe's head office wrangler; she also regularly works in the field with the rest of the crew.
