I’m so glad you’re here.

If you’ve ever dreamed of stepping into your backyard and harvesting food, herbs, and medicine—without feeling overwhelmed by rules, charts, or perfection—you’re in the right place.

I help everyday people create edible & herbal backyards that are useful, beautiful, and totally doable. Whether you’re just starting out or starting over, I’ll walk you through it step-by-step, using real-life methods I’ve tested myself over the last 20 years in my own backyard food forest.

You don’t need a green thumb or a perfect plan.

You just need curiosity, a patch of space, and the willingness to let nature show you the way.

From low-maintenance food forests and herbal wellness gardens to homemade ferments, remedies, gifts, and seasonal tips—I’m here to help you grow your own self-sufficient slice of magic.

Let’s get growing.

And Always Remember…

The Future Is Worth The Patience Of The Present
