About Me:

Hi! I’m Kate! My favorite title is MOM to Ethan, Zach, and Penelope, and WIFE to my husband of 21 years, Nate. It’s a busy season with my sons in high school and my daughter finishing up elementary school. Travel baseball, rock climbing, lacrosse, and swim team pretty much takes up our ENTIRE life, but I spend every free moment in my garden or working on my garden plans and dreams.

My happy place is in the garden. If I can start my day with coffee in the garden and end it there with a glass of wine as dusk is creeping in, I am content. I love a quick walk through my garden to help me decide what I should make for dinner.

I have loved growing things for as long as I can remember. My parents’ vegetable garden. Spending Mother’s Day helping my mom in her flower gardens. Creating moss gardens in the woods when my family went camping.

My love of kitchen gardens began when my husband and I bought our first home over twenty years ago. I dreamed of bringing veggies and herbs into my kitchen and using them in my cooking and entertaining.

Year after year, people have said to me, “I wish I could do that!”, “I kill everything I plant.”, or “I wouldn’t even know where to start.” Everyone should be able to experience the joy of having a vegetable garden. I want to remove those barriers and help anyone who wants to be a gardener, become one for life!
