I have been teaching for over 25 years. As an elementary educator, I delight in sharing my garden and poetry with my students.
I believe learning should be fun and engaging.
Our garden and home have been featured in such publications as Garden Ideas & Outdoor Living, Early American Life, Early Homes, and Heart of Ohio.
I graduated from Niles High School in 1984. I earned a Bachelor’s Degree at Saint Mary’s College, IN and my Masters Degree at the University of Cincinnati - College Conservatory of Music. I am currently working on reading endorsement.
Karen Trout has published nine books -- each a collection of original poems and photographs inspired by her backyard experiences with nature. These books are for those who enjoy gardening, birding, and all the beauty and excitement nature brings.
