Jenks Farmer 
Born into a family of artists, musicians, and farmers, Augustus Jenkins Farmer III fell in love with the natural world early in his childhood and went on to pursue a formal education in plant and environmental sciences at Clemson University and botanical garden design at the University of Washington.
 
For the last 20 years, Farmer has led teams responsible for establishing two of South Carolina's major botanical gardens. His designs for homes, museums, and businesses have received recognition and awards and have delighted hundreds of thousands of visitors with the joyful, easy exuberance of hand-crafted gardens.
 
An avid writer, Farmer has been publishing since 1990. As the former director of Riverbanks Botanical Garden and founding horticulturist of Moore Farms Garden, Farmer has a true talent and passion for inspiring people of all ages and from all walks of life to go outside and get their hands dirty.
