Ready to trade grass for garden?

Learn how to start growing with confidence.

Want to grow beautiful flowers and live more seasonally?

We began our homesteading journey back in 2011—with chickens, ducks, and garden attempts that failed more often than not. But over the past few years, I’ve turned our lawn into a thriving micro flower farm—one bed at a time.

Now, I share everything I’ve learned to help you grow the flower garden of your dreams, no matter your space or experience.

On Substack, you’ll find beginner-friendly lessons, growing tips, and simple ways to reconnect with the rhythm of the seasons. It’s part blog, part newsletter, part online course, part podcast—with both free and paid options.

Tending the Garden Year-Round


We’re moving through the year, month by month—laying the groundwork, planting with intention, and growing something beautiful together.

This space is where I share everything I’ve learned from books, courses, trial and error (and drought, and voles). It’s a digital garden journal and learning hub—designed to help you build a garden that fits your real life.

It’s not about perfection. It’s about learning as we grow.

  • Simple, beginner-friendly growing tips

  • Real guidance from a working flower farmer

  • Seasonal reminders, reflections, and resources

  • Photo tutorials, short video lessons, and blogs

  • No fluff, no overwhelm—just encouragement and clear next steps
