I believe a garden can change the way a family feels at home.

I have always felt most like myself outside. Gardening began as a way to make that time feel purposeful, but it quickly became something more—a steady rhythm of noticing, tending, trying again, and being surprised.

Becoming a mother changed the way I thought about home and food. I wanted my children to experience food with curiosity and joy: to know the thrill of finding the first tomato, tasting something straight from the stem, and understanding that good things take time.

Teaching is woven into the way I work. Years in the classroom taught me that people learn best when they feel encouraged, not intimidated. I bring that same spirit into the garden by making each step clear, practical, and approachable.

Home Growing Wild grew naturally from conversations with people who wanted to grow but did not know where to begin. One question became a visit, one garden led to another, and a community formed around the simple desire to make more life happen at home.

I care deeply about beautiful beds, thoughtful materials, healthy soil, and plants suited to our Dallas seasons. But the real measure of a garden is not perfection. It is whether the space draws you outside and gives something meaningful back to your family.

With gratitude

Thank you for trusting me with your backyards.

Every backyard gate I walk through is an invitation into a family's private world. I see the places where children play, where friends gather, and where someone hopes to create a quieter corner of their day. That trust means everything to me.

I am grateful for the families who let me dream alongside them, who ask honest questions, and who welcome me back as their gardens change. Your referrals, encouragement, and willingness to learn have allowed this work to grow.

My hope is that I leave behind more than raised beds and a planting plan. I hope I leave you with confidence, a reason to step outside, and a space where your family can make memories for years to come.
