This week, former Coast Guard officer turned gardener and vlogger Quincey Adams shares why she left her job to pursue something radically different than anything she'd been tasked with before: focusing on her health by gardening.
Quincey's first role was as a shipboard engineer and was stationed, much like myself, in California and Hawaii, protecting and managing waterways and inspecting freight vessels before departing the Coast Guard for the civilian world. After bouncing around a few jobs, most notably helping over 100 veterans file disability claims and get their service-earned benefits, she started to notice health problems that ultimately had her leaving the work force.
Using the power of homegrown food to manage her own health, Quincey has expanded her love of gardening into a full-blown lifestyle and teaches live gardening classes on Facebook. You can find Quincey on her website at www.liliesandtomatoes.com or her Facebook and Instagram using the handle @liliesandtomatoes.
