it all began when, well, when I began.

Growing up on a farm in Illinois, I spent my time on creative projects like knitting, sewing, and drawing. I always loved the views and smells of summer fields.

In college I studied Agribusiness and Agronomy; I was especially intrigued by soil science.

After some years working in non-profit organizations, I came back to my ‘roots’ in 2020 and planted the seed that would become this business.

I had always enjoyed planting flowers at the several houses my husband and I renovated for our family over the years. In 2018 we landed at our current home in Noblesville; a 1961 ranch surrounded by flower beds long neglected. Over the next few years it became my favorite place to be. Using the Seek app I identified hundreds of plants, some I’d never heard of, like Brunnera and Epimedium (both are happy in the dry shade I have). I gushed over Penstemon and Baptisia. I cleared weeds and invasive species (stillll working on that!) and ‘plopped and dropped’ many Lowe’s bargains. Watching what flourished and failed, how different colors chorused or clashed, I was fascinated.

In 2020, when the time came for a career pivot, I knew I wanted to help others connect to their own landscapes; to give their bit of land some love and receive it multiplied back. After completing several training programs and projects for friends, I officially launched in 2022.

Each project presents a new puzzle to solve, to navigate the soil, water, sunlight, and size parameters for a space. Each project is also its own tapestry, weaving together color, texture, and form. Each project takes on its own personality. My hope is to help connect that personality to yours, so you connect to your land, and smile when you see it.
