hey, it's Kristen 🌿


hey there,

this is a choose-your-own-adventure message, depending on where you live.

if you are *not* local to central NJ...

...then I have a question for you:

👉 would a 20-30 minute virtual garden consultation be valuable to you? what's your ideal price point for a service like that?

reply to this email and let me know! thank you!


if you are local to central NJ, this part is for you:

Did you know that turning part or all of your yard into a native garden will:

  • reduce household screentime?
  • restore your local ecosystem?
  • fight climate change?
  • improve your community's watershed quality?
  • delight and enchant you?
  • fight systemic injustices?
  • gift your children/grandchildren with a more viable future on Earth?

Native gardens are a powerful way for homeowners to become the conservationists that our planet desperately needs.

Maybe you already know this in your bones, but you haven't taken action yet in your yard.

You might believe that turning your yard into a native garden will:

  • cost way too much
  • look "too wild" for your neighborhood
  • take forever to install and establish
  • require too much mental bandwidth to plan and install

These are MYTHS that are holding you back from planting the native garden of your dreams!

I'm here to relieve the mental burden of backyard gardening.

You're busy and overwhelmed, your budget is tight, and you really don't need another project. I get it!

But you likely feel defeated by environmental headlines and you want to initiate a positive, impactful legacy that you can feel proud of.

A native garden consultation will give you:

  • confidence (you’ll have a clear, step-by-step plan tailored to your space!)
  • accountability (a clear plan you’ve invested in - so you actually follow through)
  • momentum (with a plan in hand, it’s easier to stop overthinking and start planting!)
  • peace of mind (confidence that your garden is making a real, positive impact on your local ecosystem)

​Learn more and book a consultation here.​

whatever you do today/this weekend, make sure to get outside! 😉

hey there, I noticed fluffy white stuff at the back of my yard the other day. I walked closer and realized they were feathers. Take a look: Just as I approached, a red-tailed hawk screeched and flew off from the red maple above me, where she had presumably just been dining and discarding feathers from her catch. Sometimes the circle of life is glorious and beautiful, like spring flowers and baby birds. And sometimes it is powerful and fierce, like these remains from a hawk's feast. While it's...
