After leaving Newsday, Margaret was named the first gardening editor for Martha Stewart Living. In 2008, she left to freelance, do her own gardening in upstate New York, and start a podcast called “A Way to Garden.” She also created her website, awaytogarden.com, which she still runs today. Margaret has authored three books: “And I Shall Have Some Peace,” “There and The Backyard Parables,” and the revamped “A Way to Garden.” She holds in-person workshops, lectures and webinars, and a radio show where she shares her expertise. In 2020, she returned to The Times as the writer for the column “In the Garden.”
