About the Gardener
I’m Kathryn and I’m glad you’re here! If you’ve found this site, then you’re probably a like-minded person who loves growing things. I grew up in a homesteading family, and over the past 10 years, I’ve been successfully employing sustainable techniques to gardening. During these years, I’ve kept a careful account of each of my plants’ individual stories.
