My own garden has been a sanctuary in an ever-changing, unpredictable world around me. The calm that I feel when I am outside watering my vegetables in the early cool of the morning, is so serene.

As a lifelong vegetarian, eating fresh, healthy food has always been a passion of mine. But when I became a Mom, I wanted to nourish my growing family with the best ingredients possible. And what could be better than growing your own food?

I love planting all year and witnessing the magical growth that occurs. My children are excited to try new vegetables and fruit that they can harvest from their own backyard. Picking fresh, homegrown basil, spinach, and ripe cherry tomatoes for a summer salad is so rewarding.

I never used to consider myself a “gardener”, but gardening is a learnable skill: It doesn't require any innate talent or special abilities. With the right knowledge, guidance, and practice, ANYONE can become a great gardener.

I want to help others in my community learn how to grow their own food too, in the garden of their dreams. At Harvested Gardens, I am excited to help you get started!
