Scott Daigre

Scott Daigre spent most of his young life in Louisiana and then moved to the West Coast to start a career in horticulture. He’s led garden tours around the world, spoken at garden shows, and designed landscapes throughout Southern California through his company, Powerplant Garden Design. He also owns and produces Tomatomania!, a springtime series of pop-up tomato sales that has been held in five states and thirty cities. He published a guide on growing tomatoes (with recipes) called Tomatomania! A Fresh Approach to Celebrating Tomatoes in the Garden and in the Kitchen. Scott now lives in Ojai, California, with his partner, Sam, a couple of energetic Australian shepherds, a growing flock of doves and chickens—and, of course, a huge garden.
