Gardening is an adventure, and this space is where I document everything—from planning to planting, harvesting, and cooking with homegrown produce. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced gardener, my hope is that this journey inspires you to grow your own food, no matter how small you start.

How my Garden Grows

Meet Constantina

"As a soon to be Master Gardener and sustainability advocate, I am deeply passionate about nurturing the earth and its natural rhythms.

As a chicken mom and backyard farmer, I find joy in connecting with nature and cultivating life, which keeps me grounded and connected to the world around me.

I also have a deep love for learning, particularly about how to listen to nature and apply the wisdom of our ancestors in plant care and health.

My goal is to educate others on the importance of growth, sustainability, and the powerful relationship between people and the earth."

Book of
the Month

let’s talk about leveling up that self-sustaining lifestyle—nature’s got the goods, and Sam Thayer’s Field Guide to Edible Wild Plants is the ultimate key to the treasure chest.

Imagine stepping outside, tapping into ancestral wisdom, and turning the wild into your personal farmer’s market—no pesticides, no price tags, just pure Earth-given nourishment.
This book breaks it down, from lush greens to hidden roots, making sure you know what’s safe, what’s scrumptious, and what’ll have you vibin’ with the land like never before.

So tell me, you tryna get in on this foraging life or what? 🌿

In gardening this just means growing your own food in a way that keeps your plants healthy without needing a bunch of store-bought stuff.

It’s about using what nature gives you—saving seeds, making compost from food scraps, using natural ways to keep bugs away, and keeping your soil healthy—so your garden takes care of itself year after year.

Bonus points... you also can save money!!!. Basically, it’s working with the Earth instead of against it to grow fresh, healthy food right at home!
