I avoided gardening for half of my adult life because of a toddler-era holdover of hating dirty hands. Thankfully, my love of cooking, hosting, and having things just so turned my thumbs green—quite literally.

After fifteen years of growing leafy greens, tomatoes, chiles galore, and so much more in my Hudson Valley potager, I brought my experience to New York City to green rooftops and balconies, inviting others to enjoy the health and well-being benefits of eating from terrace to table. Along the way, I discovered a passion for teaching, helping others cultivate not just their gardens but their confidence and connection to the natural world.
