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. My first attempt at growing tomatoes ended with more blight than fruit, but that failure taught me more than any book could.

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