Garden Editor and Pick Fresh Cookbook Spokesperson, Mary Beth Burner Shaddix leads the Cooking Light garden, bringing basket-bursting harvests of fruits, vegetables and herbs to the pages of Cooking Light magazine and Pick Fresh Cookbook. After 10 years working in the marketing and research department at Cooking Light, Mary Beth traded in her business suits for rubber boots to get back to her roots-literally. Digging in spade first, she began learning the breadth of gardening at a local retail nursery and eventually working and being certified with Master Gardeners. Little did she know, the manager who curiously eyed her resume at the nursery would soon be her husband. They now grow together at their wholesale nursery and farm, Maple Valley Nursery, near Birmingham, Alabama. She is also the founder/owner of A New Leaf Consulting and manages social media at Bonnie Plants, Inc., a grower specializing in herbs and vegetables.
