After demanding horticultural studies, Philippe Asseray has become a journalist, specialized in gardening and vegetable gardening. He writes for several French specialized magazines (Rustica, L'ami des jardins...). His own experience as a gardener is the base of most of his advice and techniques. He is also passionate about photography. He lives in France. Charlene Tong is an artist who worked as an illustrator for children books and designer of sceneries for cartoons. Her hobbies are rather simple: reading, knitting, hiking, traveling, and gardening. Plants are for her an inexhaustible source of inspiration so, after ten years dedicated to an artistic career, she moved into a new inspiring career in horticulture.
