why do i garden?

 
 

i want to eat organic, hyper-local food

From spring through fall, I plan meals around what’s growing in the garden. I know exactly how our vegetables, fruits, & herbs have gotten to our plates, and I am proud of the earth-loving, nature-hugging sustainable practices that got them there.

I find great joy in
the growing process

Food grows slowly and needs a lot of attention. And it’s in that waiting and tending—and learning—that I find a very easy peace. Gardening is a practice. It humbles but rewards greatly. It’s slow but steadies the soul.

i am spoiled on homegrown flavor

And so are my kids. They eat more veggies because they’re homegrown. Because when you watch for three months as a cabbage grows from seedling to full head, you’re invested. And homegrown simply tastes better.

 

Ready to grow?

Let’s schedule a consultation. We’ll meet to assess your space and discuss your growing goals. Whether you have an existing garden you’d like help renovating or planning, or you’re starting from the ground up. We’ll use this hour to lay the framework for your best gardening season yet. Follow up notes and next steps included.
