I love blurring the lines between gardening and ecology. I worked in conservation and horticulture for ten years before getting an MS in Plant Biology, then worked as Assistant Director of Heronswood Garden before starting this business. My mission is to grow gardens that support pollinators, require fewer inputs, and evoke the beauty of wild nature. I hope to make ecological gardening more accessible through education, informed plant selection, and smart gardening techniques.

Guiding Principles

• prioritize health by avoiding synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides

• conserve water by planting adapted species and establishing them properly

• reduce emissions and noise by using electric or hand tools whenever possible

• source local plants and materials to benefit ecotypes and small businesses

• support pollinators with ecologically-informed plant selection and techniques
