From parts of plants to mini hydroponic units, your preK-12 students will benefit from garden based STEM activities with no bus cost. I will bring the garden and the fun right to your classroom or homeschooling location.

Receive personalized support in your own garden, either I can perform the maintenance, or we can work side by side so you learn how to care for your garden. Your plants will thrive throughout the seasons.

Build connection and camaraderie with interactive garden based activities. From Senior Living Enrichment to Team Building experiences, learning together is fun, and you'll go home with plants that you know how to care for. I can even use or manage existing raised beds at your facility in the programming.

Purchase plants for your vegetable garden organically grown by me. You will find varieties that are not commonly found for purchase but that taste amazing! There is nothing better than harvesting food straight from your garden.
