Judy Green

Judy Green knows that the right gift isn't really about the object — it's about the relationship behind it. Based in Houston and raised in Baton Rouge, she brings over 15 years of experience as a family life educator and gift consultant to her work at GiftGarden, where she covers relationship-based and family gifting. Her B.S. in Family and Consumer Sciences from LSU and her Certified Family Life Educator credential inform how she thinks about milestones, transitions, and the quiet everyday moments worth celebrating. She's developed gift-planning workshops now reaching 400-plus Houston families annually, and contributed guides to a regional parenting publication with 60,000 readers. Oh, and she's kept a detailed spreadsheet of every gift she's given since 2009 — purely for the love of it.
