As a certified professional in various aspects of sustainable horticulture, gardening, and floral design, I believe that nurturing green spaces not only enhances mental well-being but also contributes to the vitality of communities.

The transformative experience of becoming a mother and discovering my own neurodivergence led me to rediscover the beauty and healing power of nature through gardening. This personal journey not only improved my mental wellness, it inspired me to advocate for the reintegration of nature into everyday life.

I am deeply driven by a passion for community-run food security, and am committed to empowering individuals to cultivate their own sustainable food and medicinal sources while creating biodiverse habitats for pollinators and wildlife. These postage stamps of habitats that we create are essential to the balance of our ecosystem. Our gardens provide so much that we are usually unaware of!

Ultimately, I aim to inspire everyone to reconnect with themselves and their loved ones through their natural environment; and play a role in creating a more sustainable and biodiverse world. I believe collaboration is an important part of this work so I regularly team up with other local flower growers and sustainable landscape designers to source plants and work on each others projects together. This season I am working with the farm crew for Green Earth Harvest CSA at The Conservation Foundation on McDonald Farm in Naperville, IL. I am learning so much and having a blast! I highly recommend checking them and their CSA subscription out because not only will you be supporting local and organic agriculture in your community, but you are also supporting a non-profit dedicated to the conservation and restoration of our natural environment.
