I have three core beliefs: you should leave people happier than you found them, all gardens are therapeutic and everyone should have daily access to one, and life should be measured in love.

I currently work as a media specialist assistant and lead the garden club at an elementary school. These kids and their curiosity make my day. Almost all of them wanted to hold a bug. They need to be outside so much more than they are. Every group I have worked with has been fascinated by being outside.

I strongly believe that if all places where people gather, especially schools, had community gardening spaces to work in and enjoy the world would be a healthier and happier place. I will spend from now to forever making that case and gathering the proof.
