You can usually find me outside in the yard. My love for gardening started when I was really little, when I would help my dad in our backyard garden. I always liked the feeling of calm that I had being outside among nature. It wasn’t until my kids went to elementary school and I volunteered with the amazing group of Master Gardeners who taught the Garden program at our school, that I rekindled my love of playing in the dirt and growing food while teaching others just how much fun it can be.

I would love to share that sense of wellbeing with people in the city in their own backyard gardens. Westside Edible Yards helps people like you learn to garden even if you’ve never had success with plants before. If you’d like to start growing a little of your own food, let’s get together!
