Live a better life
with the healing, wellness, and joy
of plants
– Featured in –
I started gardening as a way to heal from a debilitating illness and it changed everything in my life.
It drove me to dig deeper into how working together with plants can help us all cultivate a better life.
Fast forward to today where my mission as a Permaculture Designer, Herbalist, and organic gardener is to share this with everyone who needs a little (or a lot) of Garden Therapy® in their lives.
Here you will find garden projects and recipes that break down barriers and allow anyone to develop a love for plants, no matter their ability, knowledge, or garden size (or lack of one).
