The journey into vegetable gardening began in my childhood and never ended. Exploring nature and sharing my experiences has been a very rewarding path to travel. Organic gardening is an ongoing process with each season bringing a unique set of experiences and delightful surprises.
From my hometown of Washington D.C. to PA and WV, the constant theme has been a profound awareness of God's presence in the simplicity of a vegetable plot, where the forces of nature showcase His grandeur. This connection is a source of endless inspiration and encouragement.
My experiences include a Permaculture Design Certification, attended the Native Seed/SEARCH Seed School, soil science study with Elaine Ingham at the Rodale Farm Institute, a Wild Mushroom Safety Certification, and intensive trainings with the PA Association for Sustainable Agriculture (PASA), and numerous other organic agriculture programs across the US.
I have conducted agriculture workshops for the WV Dept of Agriculture Veterans & Heroes to Agriculture Program and for the WV Food and Farm Coalition. Received the Calhoun County WV outstanding conservation farm award in 2022, and was a presenter at the 2024 AdAgrA Conference in High Springs, FL and the 2025 conference in Glen Rose, TX.
Now residing, in the mountains of Central West Virginia, I have the privilege to delve deeper into farming, beekeeping, and foraging for wild medicinal plants and mushrooms. Embracing a simpler life, close to nature, has brought me nearer to God and filled my days with joy.
Through my courses and workshops, I aim to share this passion and offer insights that might save you from common gardening pitfalls. My greatest hope is that you, too, will experience that same sense of awe, inspiration, and connection as you gaze upon your own thriving gardens.
