My love for gardening began when I was little, helping my grandma tend to her flowers and vegetables. Over the years, it grew from simple joys—like growing sunflowers in my office window—into a deeper passion for nurturing plants and creating sustainable spaces.

Now, on my land in Central Florida, I’m building a living, breathing ecosystem. I’ve started garden beds filled with fresh vegetables, planted exotic Asian fruit trees, and collected edible tropical plants that thrive in this climate. My dream is to create a lush food forest, inspired by permaculture principles—a garden that largely cares for itself while nourishing my family and me, pollinators, and the mother earth.

Along the way, I’ve added a pollinator flower bed and a rain garden designed to support bees, butterflies, and birds while replenishing the water table. For me, gardening is more than growing food—it’s about my souls connection to the earth, regeneration, and creating beauty that grows.
