Your Garden Guide
Hi, I'm Monica! Gardening has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My dad and grandpa always had a thriving kitchen garden, and my mom loved growing fresh herbs to use in her cooking.
Even while living in rentals with limited space, I've always found a way to grow food at home. Years ago, I turned my tiny backyard patio into an abundant kitchen garden using stock tanks from the farm store—and it completely changed the way I eat, connect with nature, and even my line of work.
After more than a decade in project management, I now combine my love of gardening with my professional skills as a Kitchen Garden Consultant and Coach at The Wilder Yard! I love helping others grow food at home and spend more time connected to nature.
I can't wait to hear about your garden dreams and help bring them to life!
