Founder & Editor
I’ve always had a soft spot for the quiet magic of a garden—how it transforms a patch of dirt into something alive and useful. My earliest memories are of helping my grandfather plant tomatoes in his backyard in Ohio, watching them grow from tiny seeds into something we’d later eat with pride.
