Greetings Dear Friends,

My intention in creating this website is to tell the story of my work in our community and give thanks to the living world that brought these projects to life. May this online space be a source of inspiration to you, providing resources and guidance to joyfully participate in the regeneration of life on our planet and in your community.

There are many reasons to start a garden. To have food, medicine, and wildlife outside your door is a gift. Allowing the living world not just onto the land you live on, but into your heart, evokes remembering. The garden is a place to remember. 

Somewhere along the way I forgot. For much of my early life my attention was focused on the world of human things. I grew up in a busy, tropical urban environment with little awareness of the more-than-human world. One day I brought home a milkweed plant from a local farmers market and my initiation began.

Today I am often asked the question of how I came to be the way I am - why I love what I love and share what I have come to know with such excitement, appreciation, and genuine amazement. My answer is - through the connection and reciprocity I feel with the living world. When we are able to see through the eyes of relationship and wonder, the world before us becomes miraculous and the invitation to be a part of it feels like an incredible gift! My intention as a teacher is to guide you into deeper relationship with your unique place on the Earth.

If you've found yourself here on this page looking to start a garden and aren’t sure where to begin, remember - you have everything you already need in this very moment. All can be done from right where you are by paying attention to the sights, sounds, and gifts before you. Step outside and begin by opening your patio porch, side alley, backyard, open lot, or inner landscape to the living world and witness the magic unfurl! In the words of my grandad - enjoy yourself, have fun, love each other, and love yourself.

Love always,

Megan
