Hey there! I’m Emily, 30 years old and completely smitten with gardening. I live in the beautiful hills of Asheville, North Carolina, where the soil feels like magic, the air smells fresh, and my garden? It’s basically my happy place.
To be honest, I never planned on becoming obsessed with plants. I studied environmental science and spent years digging around in community gardens, helping kids grow their first tomatoes. Somewhere along the line, I realized that the part I loved most was just being with the plants—watching things grow, experimenting, learning from the soil. It felt like home
These days, my garden is a big, beautiful mess of veggies, herbs, flowers, and fruit trees. I’m always trying something new—testing companion planting combos, figuring out what likes our Southern sun, or just seeing what happens when I let a corner go wild. There’s nothing like waking up and seeing new sprouts or pulling up a perfectly grown carrot.
I love meeting fellow garden nerds. You know what I mean the joy of dirt under your nails, the weird excitement of a new compost trick, or the deep sadness of discovering snails had a party in your lettuce bed. I live for those little gardening chats, seed swaps, and shared victories.
If I had to sum it all up, I’d say gardening isn’t just a hobby for me—it’s a friendship with nature. It’s taught me to slow down, pay attention, and appreciate the small stuff. You don’t need to be perfect, just present.
So if you’re here to talk soil, share tips, or just soak up some green goodness, I’m so glad you stopped by. Let’s dig in and grow something beautiful together!
