The WonderHome Story
A place where people and plants connect
The seeds for WonderHome were broadcasted in 2025, with a deeply dedicated focus on growing community, garden resource sharing, and celebrating abundance. After a year of extensive research on membership models, surveying gardeners of all levels, interviewing experts, and synthesizing feedback…Wonderhome has taken root to emerge in Spring of 2026, the Year of the Firehorse no less! I hope you will join our horticultural herd & ride along as we explore all things garden.

My Approach
My approach chooses a state of AWE & WONER, connects COMMUNITY, looks for and shares ABUNDANCE, inspires CURIOSITY, supports CREATIVITY, values COMMUNITY and celebrates SEASONS & CYCLES.
My approach is highly collaborative. I have surrounded myself and infused WonderHome with a generous circle of creatives and experts (link to collaborators) that believe tending soil and soul, sharing resources and celebrating abundance is an act of resistance to the scarcity and polarizing paradigm being told. Gardening in community is a political act and the time is now to dig in for peace. We need to dig in together and get to work on Making American Gardens Again. The way we treat the land upon where we live has always told profound stories. My approach is uniting people through plants, and Wonderhome is this place of connection.
