Biography

Ciscoe Morris was born in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin to vaudeville performers where he gardened with his mom and grandma. At age 10, he began working professionally as a gardener for a local church. In 1972, he hitchhiked to Seattle and began working on a fishing boat. He later got a job at Seattle City Light in Newhalem and studied horticulture at South Seattle Community College.

In 1980, Morris began working at Seattle University where he introduced the use of beneficial insects rather than pesticides. Morris' media career began in the 1980s by filling-in as the host of a gardening question-and-answer radio show on KIRO after joining radio host Jim French on his show. Later that decade his TV career took-off on the KIRO-TV program "Northwest Home and Garden Show", hosted by Jeff Probst. In 2017, clips of Morris were featured in a segment on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver titled "You wish you loved anything as much as Seattle gardening expert Ciscoe Morris loves everything."
