a love for thoughtful design

gardening

Gardening has been part of my story for as long as I can remember. What began as tending to high-maintenance roses soon grew into an exploration of edible landscaping—blending fruiting and vegetable plants into lush, intentional designs. My love of garden aesthetics led me to study different styles, particularly those that embrace a sense of wild beauty with just enough structure to feel timeless and grounded.

Over the years, I’ve deepened my knowledge through extensive research into Permaculture, Carbon Farming, and the native plant species that support regional wildlife. Every landscape tells a story, and my goal is to design gardens that are not only pleasing but also self-sustaining—spaces that thrive with minimal intervention and give back to the land.

sustainability in ever detail

treasures

Beyond the garden, my passion for sustainability extends to curating vintage finds—keeping well-crafted treasures in circulation and reducing waste. Whether through a thoughtfully designed permaculture garden or a one-of-a-kind vintage piece, I believe in honoring the past while designing for the future.
