After careers in IT and education in the Northeast, my husband and I returned to the rolling hills of Middle Tennessee. We built our dream home, which we named “Homecoming”, on 3o acres containing woods, pastures and and a spring fed pond.

I finally had time to explore various interests, including gardening, bee keeping, raising chickens, and even paper making. I have since learned so much about pollinators, the importance of native plants, as well as sustainable and regenerative gardening. I am grateful to my fellow gardeners and a host of other resources who have generously shared their wisdom. I have discovered the tangible, and even more importantly, the intangible and soul filling benefits of all that nature so generously provides.
