Whitney in the garden with zinnias

I’m Whitney. I enjoy the challenge of growing food with as little intervention as possible and working with the environment instead of against it. Sometimes this philosophy is harder than others. I love tending my own little ecosystem right in my backyard and continuing to learn more about native plants and building wildlife habitat. 

I live in southwest Virginia (zone 7b) with my husband, two children and two weimaraners.

My husband and I have day jobs in tech fields, so we like to bring technology to the garden, whether it be seed databases or automated watering.

Gardening is one big series of experiments for me. I’m always learning and refining. You should join me. You can go here to subscribe to receive new posts in your inbox.
