Mary Ellen Gambutti

Mary Ellen was born in post-WWII South Carolina and was adopted by an Air Force couple. The strength she earned in her landscape gardening and flower farming career served her during rehabilitation from a hemorrhagic stroke at age fifty-seven. No longer able to garden, she pursued her love of words, taking many online courses as her speech and memory returned. The essays and memoirs she wrote over the next decade brought her solace and self-discovery, as well as the satisfaction of publication in many online journals. She is still happiest outdoors, whether on a beach, in a woodland, or in a cottage garden. But her greatest joys are home, motherhood, and two grandsons.
She and her husband are retired in Lewes, DE with an apricot toy poodle
