Welcome to Jeff Gillman's website!  Have you ever wondered how plants are affected by the things we do to them?  Ever pondered over the products on garden center shelves or wondered why one fertilizer or pesticide works and another doesn't?  Then you've come to the right place.  I work with all kinds of different plant remedies: Home remedies, organic remedies, and, yes, even synthetic remedies.  It's not my job to judge what people do to their gardens or yards, I just try to give them the best information available so that they can make their own decisions using their own values.  I'm an Associate Professor in the Department of Horticultural Science here at the University of Minnesota, and I have just about the best job in the world because I get to do three of my favorite things: Write, teach, and play with plants.

Here you can find out about me, my books, and my work at The University of Minnesota.
