James Everett

James is a lifelong garden and lawn enthusiast who's passionate about plant projects in and around the home — from backyard food forests to front-yard native borders. He's spent 12 years writing about gardening, landscaping, and outdoor power equipment, and holds a Permaculture Design Certificate from the UC Master Gardener program. Based in Sacramento, he spends his weekends testing soil amendments, experimenting with drip irrigation layouts, and finding the best tools to make it all easier. His goal with GardenGearHQ is simple: help fellow gardeners spend less time researching and more time growing.
