About

 

My approach to gardening grew from a background in psychology and textile design that influences my work today;  an appreciation for patterns, practical beauty, and the healing power of cultivated spaces. Over the past 12 years, my work has centered on progressive approaches to agriculture and fine gardening, shaped by education and hands-on experience in sustainable farming, permaculture, agroforestry, biodynamic greenhouse growing, and ecological gardening.  

​

Afternoon Gardens grows slowly, thoughtfully, with the utmost care and ecological consideration. A small scale, heartfelt offering for today's Earth with eyes toward a balanced, bright and better tomorrow. 

I hope to create landscapes that feel welcoming, uniquely personal and well-suited to your lifestyle and values. We can support biodiversity, grow food, and create beauty simultaneously. 

 

With great appreciation to many mentors, teachers and anyone devoted to the Earth - thank you for being here!
