Gardening Basics
My garden is my sanctuary—a place to slow down, reconnect with nature, and find joy in growing things. I’m still learning as I go, and I’m excited to share what’s worked for me (and what hasn’t), from soil health to seasonal care. My space is a mix of Australian natives, food producers, edible flowers, and the occasional cactus—an ode to my Arizona roots. Gardening is an ongoing adventure, and I’m looking forward to learning alongside this community as we dig in, grow together, and celebrate the Earth's abundance.
