Garden Maintenance

I provide year-long garden maintenance services specific to the plants in your yard.

Urban Micro-farming

I grow food in yards around Portland to donate to others in our community.

Science

The latest research guides the decisions I make in your yard.

Education

Education is a privilege. I encourage my clients to work alongside me in the garden. I believe in openly sharing resources.

Community

Your trash is treasure to someone else. Reach out if you have plants to share or need help searching.

Accessibility

My sliding scale model serves to push against racism in our society. It's not perfect, but it's a step in the right direction.

Land Acknowledgement

I live on stolen land once home to village sites of the Multnomah, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Bands of Chinook, Tualatin, Kalapuya, Molella, and many other tribes.

I also live on a gentrified plot of land in North Portland that is part of Albina, the center of Portland's African American population since the late 1900s.

It is because of the efforts of those before me I am able to care for plants and grow food on this land responsibly and with intention.

Harm-Reduction Capitalism

Capitalism isn't broken, it is keeping certain people from getting ahead just as intended.

In order to sustainably provide fresh, local produce free of charge to others, I have to participate in this system to financially support myself.
