Ideal for residential properties and commercial spaces interested in growing fresh produce, this service focuses on maximizing ecological function and food yield.

Hospitable Harvests also offers engaging classes on growing food and cultivating native plants, empowering our community with the knowledge to grow in harmony with nature. Our approach encourages self-sufficiency, healthier lifestyles, and a deeper connection to the environment.
We believe gardening is more than just growing—it’s a path to resilience, wellness, and ecological stewardship. By adopting regenerative practices, we can enrich our soils, attract pollinators, capture carbon, and cultivate delicious food right at home.
Join us in creating a more sustainable future, one yard at a time.
Our principles are based on a few core ideas. Supporting native pollinators helps protect food crops and reduces the need for pesticides. Healthy soil is essential, and practices like no-till gardening and composting help restore it while capturing carbon. Growing food at home builds resilience and strengthens the connection between people and the land. Gardening brings people together. It creates space for conversation, learning, and sharing in a world where many feel disconnected from each other.
In 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, I dove into composting and began experimenting with various methods. That same year I co-founded Monarch Urban Farm, a native, edible, and medicinal plant nursery in Oviedo. Naturally, we grew a wide variety of native milkweed species and deepened our commitment to ecological gardening.
In September 2021 I became the Fleet Farming Program Manager at the nonprofit IDEAS For Us. Over nearly three years, I managed more than 15 front yard microfarms and orchards. My work included crop planning, seasonal rotations, farmers market operations, volunteer coordination, and ongoing infrastructure improvements to the gardens. I also created and taught the Living Learning Classes, a hands-on educational series focused on sustainable growing.
Now as the founder of Hospitable Harvests I’m excited to share everything I’ve learned. Think of me as your personal garden coach; here to help you transform your yard into a productive, beautiful, and ecologically vibrant space. Whether you're just starting out or looking to take your garden to the next level, I’m here to support you every step of the way!
