About Me

I’ve been growing and fascinated by plants my entire life. Raised by a mother who was also a passionate gardener, I grew up with my hands in the soil from as early as I can remember. While working as an educator for several years, I also spent summers and weekends working at local nurseries and learning more about plants, organizing and selling at local farmers’ markets, and expanding my own gardens. I lived on one small plot of land in Nottingham, NH for nineteen years and gradually transformed the lawns and even part of the driveway into a network of mixed ornamental and food gardens that work in harmony with the local ecosystem. My property came to serve as wildlife habitat, a beautiful refuge for people and pollinators alike, and a supplementary food source for me, my friends and family, and the community. With a recent move to the Upper Valley, I look forward to bringing my love for plants, art, and ecology to a new region while continuing to work with clients on the Seacoast and in the towns in between.

I enjoy helping others reimagine and remake their own outdoor spaces in creative and sustainable ways, whether they are looking to build pollinator gardens, food gardens, ornamental beds, or a combination of those and more. I love sharing my knowledge about plants, organic growing practices, permaculture, and garden design. I offer both consultation and design services, if you’d like to get some advice/inspiration or a complete planting plan, and then do the work yourself, and hands-on garden work (within my local range) if you’d like me to make your vision a reality.

Send me an email, give me a call, or fill out the contact form below if you think you might be interested in working together. Looking forward to talking with you!
