My love for gardening started twelve years ago, simply because gardening was beautiful. I fell in love with the aesthetics of the potager (pronounced: poe-ta-jay) and dreamed of hidden spaces and loads of green. It was only after my first formal garden was built, that I started to love growing food. As my garden journey progressed, harvesting beautiful crops became my goal. I started to refine my skills and try new methods. Through organic gardening, each year brought more success than the last. Adding a different component to gardening was an exciting challenge. My final challenge was to start my entire garden from seed, grow three out of four seasons, and find a way to use all of my garden harvest. After another successful year, it was time to help others create their dream space. I became a certified garden coach, where I started helping others grow their own food gardens. I help with all aspects including designing, planning, coaching, and maintaining and love every minute!
