The latest research guides the decisions I make in your yard.
Education
Education is a privilege. I encourage my clients to work alongside me in the garden. I believe in openly sharing resources.
Community
Your trash is treasure to someone else. Reach out if you have plants to share or need help searching.
Accessibility
My sliding scale pushes against the societal barriers that keep some community members for making the most of their garden. It's not perfect, but it's a step in the right direction.
I live on stolen land once home to village sites of the Multnomah, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Bands of Chinook, Tualatin, Kalapuya, Molella, and many other tribes. I also live on a gentrified plot of land in North Portland that is part of Albina, the center of Portland's African American population since the late 1900s. It is because of the efforts of those before me I am able to care for plants and grow food on this land responsibly and with intention.
Harm-Reduction Capitalism
Capitalism isn't broken, it is keeping certain people from getting ahead just as intended. In order to sustainably provide fresh, local produce free of charge to others, I have to participate in this system to financially support myself.
