I'm Karen Heisler, and I help busy homeowners start their first backyard garden


Growing up in a generational farming family, I inherited a deep-rooted passion for cultivating the land. My childhood was filled with cherished moments of learning and gardening alongside my parents in our backyard plot. This foundation has profoundly shaped my approach to gardening today.

With years of experience balancing a demanding corporate career and parenting while continuing the family tradition of gardening, I understand the unique challenges busy parents face. This personal journey has equipped me with practical knowledge and time-saving strategies to transform your backyard efficiently and effectively.

Let me guide you in creating your own serene and fruitful garden, bypassing the mistakes I’ve already made, so you can quickly achieve success. Together, we can cultivate a space that brings joy and abundance to your life.
