– In the Garden –

When I moved to the Hudson Valley eight years ago, I began transforming my land into a sanctuary for both people and the planet. I established an organic vegetable garden, created pollinator and medicinal gardens, set up composting stations, and installed birdhouses, mason bee houses, and bat houses.

Today, River’s Edge Farm is a thriving, climate-resilient, carbon-neutral, and zero-waste ecosystem. With it now in full bloom, I’m excited to offer consulting services to help you create your own regenerative, beautiful, and purposeful garden.

Whether you’re just starting or deepening your relationship with the land, I can guide you in:

  • Selecting the ideal site for a vegetable, pollinator, or medicinal garden

  • Creating efficient composting systems

  • Placing homes for birds, bats, and native bees

  • Protecting your garden from wildlife while coexisting with nature

I also offer guidance on choosing the easiest and most rewarding plants to grow—whether you’re cultivating food, herbs, or medicine—and on attracting beneficial wildlife to help your garden flourish.
