Allen Lacy was born on January 7, 1935 in Dallas, Texas, United States, into the family of David Allen Lacy Jr. and Jetta (Surles) Lacy.
Allen graduated from Duke University with a bachelor’s degree in English in 1956, attended Vanderbilt University Divinity School and received a doctorate in religion from Duke.
Lacy became a gardening columnist for the Wall Street Journal by chance in 1979. He remained in that post for six years, moving to the New York Times at the beginning of 1986. Lacy’s first gardening book was the 1984 publication "Home Ground: A Gardener's Miscellany", which brought together many of Lacy’s short pieces written for periodicals between 1979 and 1983. A second collection of Lacy’s short pieces was published two years later under the title "Farther Afield: A Gardener's Excursions." In his 1990 work. "The Garden in Autumn", Lacy provides a unique discussion of gardening in the later months of the year. Another collection of Lacy’s essays, "The Gardener’s Eye", appeared in 1992.
Allen taught at several colleges before becoming a philosophy professor at Richard Stockton College of New Jersey in Pomona, which is now called the Stockton University.

Quotes from others about the person
