About

The journey into vegetable gardening began in my childhood and never ended

Exploring nature and sharing my experiences has been a very rewarding path to travel. Organic gardening is an ongoing process with each season bringing a unique set of experiences and delightful surprises.

From my hometown of Washington D.C. to PA and WV, the constant theme has been a profound awareness of God’s presence in the simplicity of a vegetable plot, where the forces of nature showcase His grandeur.

This connection is a source of endless inspiration and encouragement.
