After starting her career as a teacher, Kath Bafile began a herb and vegetable production nursery in WA growing the Herbaceous and Potted Wok plant ranges. She soon became known as "The Herb Lady" which always made her think that it was good that she didn't sell manure. In recent years she has combined her knowledge of children and gardening to create a seedling range and website designed especially for kids called Smarty Plants. Kath is also a garden speaker and writer with regular stories in Gardening Australia and online websites.
