Transform Your Houston Yard Into a Thriving Food  Garden
Living in Houston means dealing with intense heat, humidity, unpredictable weather, and soil that doesn't always cooperate. You want to grow your own food and create beautiful outdoor spaces, but figuring out what grows here and when can feel overwhelming.
I'm here to make it simple. As a Houston-based garden designer, coach and certified permaculture consultant, I help families throughout South Houston and the Gulf Coast create productive, sustainable gardens that thrive in our Zone 9 climate.
Ready to start growing? Choose from garden design, coaching, seasonal planning, or hands-on workshops.
