Gardening
can feel hard.
Why isn’t this producing fruit? Oh no…is that dying? I planted this, what am I supposed to do next? Am I watering too much? Is that bug ok in here? What’s that spot on my leaf? How do organic farmers do this???
Gardening was a part of everyday life for thousands of years but these days, few people know how to successfully do this basic and crucial factor of human life. How can you be expected to with the hectic demands of today, and the lack of garden-centered community? There are countless reasons gardening should be part of our lives, but that can add more stress when you’re starting from scratch.
That’s where I come in. Let me create a garden that fits your needs and space, with regular harvest and easy tending. I’m going to teach you to love gardening and get back to your roots.

Garden Coaching
Hi, I’m Amy
As someone who worked as a farmhand in my early 20’s, I used to joke that I could keep any animal alive, but not plants. I tried for a long time to have a garden, but it always ended in disappointment. It became clear that I was lacking the fundamentals and needed guidance. After several years of learning and literally getting my hands dirty, gardening comes easy and it is all I want to do.
In a world of expensive groceries, a worsening climate, and dwindling native plants and insects, gardening makes me feel like I’m doing my part. I can be self-sufficient, as well as part of the community needed to restore my little corner of the world. I see gardening as empowering, and I hope to help others feel the same way.
I want to teach you to grow your own food, appreciate where food comes from, create a healthy microclimate, and showcase a beautiful space in your landscape where you can host both human and pollinator friends. Watch your yard come to life while letting nature do 90% of the work, thanks to my customized and turnkey designs.
I’m so excited you’re here and hope you feel as fired up as I do. Let’s hop on a discovery call and see how we can make magic!

You can do it
I want you to step into your garden in the mornings with a cup of coffee in your hand, spend a few minutes visiting your plants before the day gets crazy. I want you to harvest a basketful of gorgeous produce you’re excited to cook for your family and friends. I want you to have so many fresh herbs, you gift your neighbors herb bouquets. I want you to have a space that is full of life and gives your confidence and comfort.
You can do all of this, and I’m happy to lend a hand.
