MISSION

To inspire wellness in every workshop and purpose in every planting. 

To cultivate connections through therapeutic nature-based experiences. 

WELCOME, I'm glad you're here!

My journey into gardening began unexpectedly during the challenging days of the COVID-19 pandemic. While furloughed from my full-time office job, I found solace in my backyard. As spring unfolded, I spent my time pulling weeds and planting flowers, slowly discovering a deep appreciation for nature’s beauty. When my position was ultimately eliminated, I faced a difficult period of uncertainty and sadness. It was during this time that I turned to gardening, particularly creating potted arrangements, as a way to heal and stay grounded. Gardening became a therapeutic escape, allowing me to focus on the present and find peace in it all.

A pivotal moment in my journey was visiting Tizer Botanic Gardens & Arboretum in Jefferson City, Montana. It was unlike anything I had ever experienced—an oasis of breathtaking beauty that felt like a piece of heaven on Earth. Inspired by that visit, I envisioned creating a similar sanctuary here in the Lehigh Valley, where others could find the same tranquility and healing through nature.

I am excited to share my passion with you and help you create your own little piece of heaven. I look forward to meeting you and supporting you on your gardening journey.
