ABOUT


Aurelia C. Scott lives in Portland, Maine with her husband Bob Krug and three bypass pruners. She grows roses and other flowering plants within sight of Casco Bay, and writes for Cottage Living, Garden Design, Fine Gardening, Down East, and the New York Times among other publications. As Historical Editor for Garden Compass Magazine, she has written profiles of the luminaries of yesteryear's plant world. And as Contributing Editor for AudioFile Magazine, she gets to listen to so many audiobooks that her ears turn numb. She is also able to interview audiobook narrators, and such varied authors as P.D. James and Jonathan Franzen.

Aurelia is the winner of a number of writing awards, including the Writer's Digest Grand Prize. (She also won her school history and science prizes in ninth grade, an accomplishment that went immediately to her head.)

Aurelia speaks frequently on writing and gardening. She also serves as Vice President of the Board of Portland Trails, a local urban land trust, and as a Master Gardener. Her current MG activity is the Pink Tulip Project, a program she helped AudioFile Magazine editor and friend, Robin Whitten, found in 2006. The PT Project raises funds for breast cancer research while planting communities with a beautiful pink symbol of spring's renewal.
