As a mother of three young children, raising them to appreciate nature, take responsibility for our environment, and experience the health benefits of being outdoors is a daily priority. Motherhood also made me realize how many common gardening practices can cause long-term harm for the sake of short-term convenience. With limited time for gardening, I learned to work efficiently, in partnership with the land, allowing my kids to participate, and slowing down to appreciate the simple beauty around us—revealing the magic in everyday moments.

Gardening is a journey of continuous learning, and Buying Thyme provides me the opportunity to share my experiences, helping others fast-track their gardening spaces.

My garden has become a space of experimentation, where I apply regenerative practices with a focus on soil health and ecosystem care. I’ve explored unconventional methods like hügelkultur, no-till gardening, electro-culture, and gutter gardens, pushing the limits of what’s possible in our growing zone. Having faced the challenges of indoor & small space gardening firsthand, I now have the opportunity to scale my experiences on a larger rural piece of land, moving toward more common farming practices.
