She is the fourth generation of her family to operate the farm since 1908. The unexpected death of her older brother brought her back to the family farm in 2009.

She hosted a local radio gardening show for 10 years and has written two books, so far. In addition to the farm, Ploss teaches on-farm workshops and area gardening classes and speaks to groups. She also shares her experiences in educating the public about the roles of native plants in the landscape. Ploss is a local history and genealogy enthusiast whose book titled “Go Back, You Forgot the Flowers” explores the early history of Hickory Hurst Farm and is the book she will be speaking about at the Ellington Library.
