Thank you for stopping by! You've taken the first step toward discovering the incredible joy that comes from planting native and gardening with purpose. My mission is simple: to spread awareness about the transformative power of native plants and provide you with the resources, inspiration, and support you need on your own nature-connecting journey.

What started as a suburban yard transformation in 2019 became a life-changing revelation. The moment we planted our first native Michigan plants, magic began to unfold—butterflies found us, bees filled our garden with purpose, and birds brought songs we'd never heard before. I discovered that creating wildlife habitat doesn't require expertise or vast spaces; it just requires intention and the willingness to see our yards as part of something much bigger.

This website is your resource hub for native plant inspiration, practical gardening guidance, and the pure joy that comes from watching nature thrive in your own backyard. You'll also get an inside look at my upcoming book, "We Are Nature: A Journey Home"—a story I'm writing to inspire young readers (and the adults who guide them) to discover their own connections to the natural world.

Whether you're planting your first native flower or transforming an entire landscape, I'm here to help you experience the wonder that comes when we garden not just for beauty, but for biodiversity, connection, and the sheer joy of being part of nature's incredible web of life.
