Marcus Bridgewater

Marcus Bridgewater, widely known as Garden Marcus, is an author, plant enthusiast, and CEO & Founder of Choice Forward. He began gardening when he bought his first house nearly seven years ago. After killing nine of his original 16 plants, he found himself determined to learn how to care for all living things. He now has around 500 plants at his Texas home. He developed his internet presence by connecting his observations in his garden to greater life lessons, and has been featured in the New York Times, Vogue, and the Los Angeles Times. When he is not in his garden, he is leading presentations, workshops, and seminars with Choice Forward. His first book, “How to Grow: Nurture Your Garden, Nurture Yourself,” (HarperOne, 2022) debuted May 24th.
