About me

Hi, I’m Joanna, and I love gardening.

I’ve had my own vegetable garden since I was seven, and it continues to be a place of solace, fun and satisfaction.

And I love helping make gardening enjoyable and achievable for others.

My other passion is connection – to self, community and nature. I find joy in creating safe, beautiful spaces in which people can connect, learn and experience flow.
