About Me

Gordon Ocampo

Gordon Ocampo
I’ve always had a green thumb—whether it was sneaking extra tomato plants from my grandfather’s garden or reviving sad houseplants with a little too much water.

I believe the best advice comes from real experiences, not just textbooks, so you’ll find plenty of stories (and a few bloopers) along with the tips.
