Getting to Know Stephanie Suesan Smith, Ph.D.

I have been growing vegetables since I was eight years old, when my dad first let me help plant onions in our backyard. That early start grew into a lifelong passion for gardening—and for teaching others how to do it well. 

I’ve been a master gardener since 2001 and was named my county’s master gardener of the year in 2014. I know firsthand what it takes to grow healthy plants, solve problems in the dirt, and help others succeed in their gardens. That same practical, hands-on approach shapes everything I write for my clients. 

As a freelance writer, I’ve been creating content for print and the web since 1991. My work has appeared in dozens of gardening magazines, pet publications, and industry websites, including the Dallas County master gardener site, Royal Creations Architectural Landscaping, Backyard Gardeners Network, Dog Fancy, Animal Wellness, and more. I specialize in writing for gardening and pet businesses, helping small and mid-size companies connect with their customers and grow their brands. 

I hold a Ph.D. in psychology and have advanced training in SEO and copywriting. I use my background in research and consumer behavior to write content that is not only accurate and engaging, but also designed to convert readers into loyal customers. 

Clients appreciate that I don’t need a crash course in gardening or pet care—I speak the language, understand the challenges, and know what matters to your audience. I’m known for my clear, concise writing style, my attention to detail, and my commitment to delivering what I promise, on time and on budget. 

When you work with me, you get: 

  • A master gardener who understands your business and your customers 
  • A seasoned writer who can handle everything from blog posts to SEO lead magnets 
  • A partner who values straightforward communication and practical results 

If you want content that works as hard as you do, let’s talk.
