Grow
Let’s talk about gardening! Here you’ll find practical gardening tips for ornamental gardening as well as for growing food. I share what I’ve learned through experience and research.
Eat
I’m all about garden-to-table eating. I show how I use homegrown ingredients in my cooking all year round. Even if you’re not growing it yourself, you’ll get ideas for how to put more produce on your own table.

The love of gardening is a seed that once sown never dies.
