Most of Ruth's "Timely Tips", originally published on the African Violets Down Under  Facebook page.(www.facebook.com/groups/241227626277942/?fref=nf)

Ruth Coulson lives on the Central North Coast of NSW.
She is renowned throughout the African Violet world both in Australia and overseas. 
Ruth's advice and observations, combined with many years of experience has produced many articles that have been written by her that are highly regarded.

She is also an author of books on growing African Violets: "Growing African Violets", "African Violets for Everyone" and

 From time to time Ruth writes "tips" on growing African Violets for the African Violets Down Under  Facebook page.(www.facebook.com/groups/241227626277942/?fref=nf). Who, along with Ruth, kindly allow our society to reproduce the "Timley Tips' on this website
