About the Host

Born in Australia, Moya Andrews is a Master Gardener and a member of the Bloomington Garden Club in Bloomington, Indiana where she has lived since she joined the faculty of Indiana University in 1971.

Moya began gardening because she wanted to always have flowers for her house, and in her garden she concentrates on flowers, especially perennials, with the goal of never being without something blooming throughout the entire growing season.

In her professional life Moya is Professor Emerita of Speech and Hearing Sciences at Indiana University where she also served as Dean of the Faculties and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs. She has authored many research articles and textbooks and believes that caring for her garden is similar in many ways to writing and editing.
