Gardening has been a total game-changer for me, and it's reconnected me with my kitchen! I'm all about busting those old "green thumb" myths and turning tricky info into easy-peasy steps for awesome home gardeners like yourself. But hey, this isn't just about how to grow a garden, I also share weekly recipes to cut through the harvest overwhelm that many of us gardeners face during the height of the growing season. So you feel inspired and don't have to stress about what to cook.

Jumping right in, I'm sure many mama's can relate to the loneliness that comes with postpartum. I found joy in gardening when I was still sick, sleep deprived and without a mom tribe a year after I had my daughter. The garden gave me hope.

When my husband and I got married,  we decided to take a road trip up north for our mini moon and absolutely fell in love with New England. I still remember that moment on our trip, when we turned to each other and said what if we moved here? And so we did, a year and half later. I’m so glad that we listened to that inner voice. Since then we’ve been on a journey to create more joy, and home gardening has taken center stage in the joy-making process, as it allows us to truly slow down and live amongst the seasons.

A successful gardener will think like a plant. Imagine you're a plant – you're rooted in one spot, soaking up sunlight, water, and nutrients from the soil. You can't run or hide, so you've got to adapt and thrive right where you are. When we slip into that plant mindset, our garden gets the love it craves. It's like giving your garden a spa day to ensure it's bursting with vibrant blooms and veggies galore! So, let's channel our inner plant vibes and focus on providing our plants with the essentials that it needs to produce abundantly. 

I hope that your garden overflows with abundance but more importantly my honest hope is that the garden aligns with your lifestyle and brings you endless joy. After growing vegetables and flowers from seed, I know that by nurturing my garden I'm in fact caring for myself. I want to show you how to grow your best garden but also how to eat home and locally grown vegetables. The kitchen garden and your actual kitchen is where the magic happens.
