Your garden to table guide helping

Detroit Homeowners & Businesses

set up and grow organic urban vegetable gardens

So, you want an urban garden
that’s bountiful and beautiful...

Specializing in aesthetic, productive kitchen garden setups for homeowners along the Woodward corridor of Metro Detroit—including Franklin, Bingham Farms, Ferndale, Royal Oak, Birmingham, and Bloomfield Hills.

  • With your busy schedule, you simply don’t have the time or energy it takes to get started! You love the idea of having fresh veggies for your home, but it has to be easy, quick, and worth it.

  • You don’t know how to get the most out of your space or make your garden fit your family's lifestyle! You don’t want to waste space, time, and money on a garden, if it’s not sustainable for you and you’re not getting much out of it.

  • You want your backyard garden to be AESTHETIC as well as abundant! You want a garden that not only produces fresh veggies for dinner, but also a space in which you’re excited to host friends for summer BBQs, too.

(there’s always a “but” isn’t there?)

BUT…

I never want your limited space, time, or expertise to stop you from enjoying fresh homegrown veggies of your own.

and that’s where I come in!

I help busy detroit families and businesses who:

want a beautiful flourishing raised bed garden but don’t know where to start

A beige splatter shape with multiple irregular protrusions

care about instilling healthy habits and a growth mindset into your family’s lifestyle

want to enjoy homegrown veggies but are waaay too busy to maintain it yourself

don’t have extra time or energy to spend Googling ALL the garden “how-tos”

No gardening experience, time to learn or space to grow?

No problem! I can help you cultivate an abundant garden and healthy lifestyle to fit your needs, no matter your situation!

Rachael

As a mom of two young children, I understand that gardening has to be easy, quick, and worth it for you - so I teach from that perspective! I want you to fall in love with growing as I did and feel inspired (not burdened) by your edible garden.

When we work together, I’ll help you get the most out of your space, time, and money. Together, we’ll create a space that’s equally beautiful AND productive, a space where you can cultivate lasting memories with your family and friends.
