Out of the ground – follow the blog

Every garden has a story to tell. Starting this March (2026), I’m launching Out of the Ground to share the parts of the process that don’t always make it into a polished chapter. This is a space for the digging in—the literal mud on my boots, the hard work of turning the soil, and the honest mistakes made along the way. It’s for the growing—the big visions of wild meadows and quiet corners that keep us planting season after season. And most importantly, it’s for the sharing—those “Aha!” moments of passing on a shortcut or celebrating a small success.

Whether you are here to find a path to a greener thumb or just to see what’s currently pushing its way through the topsoil, I’m glad you’ve joined me. Let’s see what comes up next
