Hi, I’m Stephanie.
I’m a veteran science educator, Certified Florida Master Naturalist, and lifelong gardener.
I grew up on an avocado farm near Everglades National Park and come from a long line of farmers, where working with the land was simply part of everyday life.
That early connection shaped my understanding of food, soil, and stewardship, and it continues to guide how I teach and garden today.
For more than 30 years, I’ve created and cared for my own personal gardens, and throughout my teaching career, I’ve designed, built, and maintained five different school gardens.
These spaces have become outdoor classrooms—places where science, patience, and care come alive through hands-on learning.
Gardening has long been one of my healing hobbies. It offers rhythm, perspective, and a deep sense of connection to the natural cycles that sustain us.
In this course, I’ll guide you step by step as you build confidence and understanding while creating a garden that nourishes your body, spirit, and the earth.
This isn’t just about growing vegetables—it’s about creating a restorative, hands-on practice that feeds both body and spirit. Gardening is a way to slow down, nurture life, and feel connected to the natural world, all while producing fresh, healthy food you can enjoy daily.
Whether you want to feed your family, add beauty and abundance to your home, or cultivate a healing hobby that supports wellness and sustainability, this course will give you the tools and confidence to make your garden thrive.
