Organic Gardening started with one idea:

Mindful gardening as a way of life

I'm Emily, a passionate gardener who didn’t even know where to begin with my first packet of lettuce seeds. I had a goal of growing my own food, which has now blossomed into sharing what I’ve learned over the years to help others create thriving, sustainable gardens. Whether you're a seasoned grower or just starting out, you're in the right place.

Here, I offer practical advice, step-by-step guides, and organic gardening insights over multiple seasons of trial and—sometimes hilarious—error. My goal is to inspire you to grow your own food, nurture plants, and connect with nature—no matter your experience level or garden size.

I’m based in Zone 7a, and grow everything from leafy greens to vibrant flowers and, fingers crossed, luffa. Gardening has taught me patience, planning, and the joy of celebrating every little sprout. It's more than plants—it’s about cultivating resilience and building community.
