Founder & Editor
I’ve always had dirt under my nails and a garden plot in my backyard—ever since my dad taught me to plant tomato seeds in egg cartons when I was six. There’s something about watching a seedling grow into a thriving plant that feels like magic, and I love sharing that journey with others.
