Modern Gardener

Welcome to Modern Gardener! PBS Utah's Modern Gardener brings you informative and inspiring videos about gardening and landscaping in Utah’s unique region.

Cynthia has spent most of her life gardening and eating homegrown goods. She grew up gardening with her parents – her dad growing vegetables and her mom nurturing flowers. She spent most of her youth outdoors, climbing fruit trees barefoot in the summer. 

As a master gardener, gardening influencer and content creator, Cynthia brings a wealth of expertise and talent to PBS Utah’s Modern Gardener.

Aside from being a Master Gardener, she’s a Beekeeper, Member of the Utah Cut Flower Association, and has been a gardening coach, a Refugee Resettlement Mentor, and an instructor at Thanksgiving Point's gardening workshops. 

When Cynthia’s not busy raising her kiddos or working hard in her garden, she’s spending time growing her nursery business, 42nd Street Greenhouse, in Salt Lake City.
