About Me

Kendra Yoder

Kendra Yoder
I’ve always had a green thumb, but my real education in gardening started when I moved to a tiny house on five acres in rural Oregon.

This site is for anyone who’s ever wondered how to turn a patch of soil into something beautiful, edible, or just plain fascinating.
