Produce

Our virtual farm stand offers a taste of what’s natural: fresh herbs, greens, flowers, and more grown with love at our New North End microfarm. Each harvest reflects our commitment to organic practices and celebrates what the season gifts us.

Writing

Rooted in curiosity, observation, and research, our personal and professional writing explores relationships between people, plants, and planet. We help tell horticultural stories that honor the natural world and inspire others to grow closer to it.
