Hello there

A friendly face in the garden.

Kitchen garden consulting for homes, schools and communities on the South Coast of NSW

My story

From hobby patch to helping yours.

I have lived and gardened on the South Coast of NSW for the past 12 years. I am passionate about creating a lifestyle that supports healthy habits for myself and my family, which includes growing organic produce, spending time in nature, and constantly experimenting in and learning from my own garden.

I believe every household should be growing its own veggies and herbs, whether in balcony pots, patio containers, or a full-blown kitchen garden.

I hold a Bachelors of Science degree in Biology and I have extensive experience working in a local garden centre, which fuels my dedication to sharing my knowledge and passion with others.

When I'm not gardening, I enjoy cooking, practicing Pilates, cheering my children on from the sidelines, and volunteering in the Berry & District Garden Club.

What I stand for

The way I work.

Practical first

No fluff, no jargon — just advice that actually works in your garden.

Honest help

If something isn't worth doing, I'll tell you. If a cheaper option will work, that's what I'll suggest.

Garden with the seasons

Working with nature, not against it — patient, observant, and rewarded.

Better together

Gardening is more fun (and far more productive) when it's shared.

Growing community

More than my own backyard.

I believe gardens grow people just as much as people grow gardens. That's why I'm proudly involved in local garden clubs and community growing projects — sharing knowledge, swapping seeds, and learning from the wonderful folks around me.

When you start working with me, you're not just getting a consultant. You're plugging into a whole network of growers who love what they do and love sharing it.

Growing food, growing community.
