You are probably wondering who is behind 'A Gardener's Journal'...

​

And what's more why a lady with no personal garden would choose such a name.

​

Let's talk...

​

I haven't tended a garden of my own in decades.

But I have spent over forty years designing, building & caring for them~

across backyards, campuses, corporate spaces and quiet corners where people go to breathe.

​

Along the way, I studied Biology.

Then Architecture.

Built a business....or two

Worked in a world that didn't always expect me to be there...and sometimes didn't welcome it.

​

And still I stayed. Curious. Dedicated. Always present.

​

Because that's what this has always been all about.

​

Not just gardens.

But observations.

Patterns.

Growth.

And the quiet understanding that rarely moved in straight lines.

​

This journal isn't about telling you what to do. 

​It's about sharing with you what I've seen.

​

in soil...

in design...

in color...

in work,,, 

and in the spaces in between.

​

If something here resonates with you~

good.

​

So welcome into the weeds..it's a journey, not a destination~
