What This Is
I'm looking for a few people — two, three, four — who want a collaborator on their garden. Not a landscaping service. A partner who helps you see what's possible in your space, figure out what it would take, and then work alongside you to make it happen.
I've been gardening seriously in Roslindale for years. I know what grows here, what the soil needs, how the light moves through a small urban lot. I care about gardens that produce food, support pollinators, handle Boston weather, and give you a place that feels genuinely good to be in.
How It Works
We start by understanding your space together — light, soil, drainage, what's already growing, what you want from it. Then we design something that fits your life, not a magazine. Some people want food. Some want beauty. Most want both. All of it should be manageable.
I'll help with the hard parts — building beds, amending soil, selecting plants, planning rotations. And I'll be around through the season. This isn't a plan-and-disappear arrangement. Gardens need attention, and so do the people tending them.
Spring
Plan together. Build beds. Start seeds. Amend soil. Set the season up right.
Summer
Tend. Harvest. Adjust. Learn what's working. Enjoy what's growing.
Fall
Harvest the last. Put beds to rest. Reflect on the season. Plan for next year.
A few gardens, tended well.
