Hi, I’m Angela
Nothing beats the feeling of heading out to the garden to gather much of what my family eats. Vegetables, fruits, and herbs from my garden are picked almost daily. We eat them fresh, and I also preserve harvests by canning, drying, and freezing.
My goal is to share what I've learned so you can be successful too. I want you to experience that same feeling of satisfaction from growing what you and your family eats.
My Experience
I am an avid vegetable, flower, and fruit tree gardener. As a mother of five children, I enjoy growing and preparing food from the garden for my family. I'm passionate about sharing practical instruction and inspiration to help home gardeners successfully grow their own garden.
I am a certified Master Gardener, and have been featured in Phoenix Home & Garden, San Diego Home/Garden, Edible Phoenix, Family Fun, on Burpee.com, and others. I am also a regular contributor to Master Gardener publications, and have written blog posts and created videos for Better Homes & Gardens, Kellogggarden.com, Gardeners.com, Gardeningknowhow.com, GardenGate.com, and other companies.

Client Testimonials
Thank you so very much for making my gardening dreams a reality. I have lived in the valley for 27 years, and have attempted gardening so many times. My garden never turned out quite like I had hoped, and my bounty was minimal. I decided to follow your instructions exactly.
Installing the square foot garden was the first best step. All your help with seeds, soil, compost, planting guides and sun exposure etc., has been a miracle! I am in my second year of a beautiful full garden with veggies to share!
No pest issues, beautiful full crops, and the most delicious produce.
Thank you!

Angela was very warm and friendly to begin with,. She knows her stuff and is gifted at sharing it with you . I will keep coming back to her videos and also future consultations. It was a big plus for me that she lives in my area, and knows this climate. Wonderful suggestions, and she encouraged me to try growing from seed, so that’s next for me.

I am so thankful for the time I spent with Angela discussing and planning what my blank canvas of a yard could be. The pre-consultation was very helpful to get me to focus my ideas of what I would like to see for my vegetable and fruit garden.
Being new to the Arizona desert, Angela offered suggestions of vegetable garden, plant and tree placement for the greatest gardening success in the low desert. All of her recommendations were based on her knowledge as a master gardener and experience in gardening herself.
She also provided resources for everything I needed to implement her recommendations from garden beds to metal trellis to irrigation. During our consultation, she also answered all of my questions to ensure I was comfortable moving forward with getting started growing our own food.
She provided me an invaluable low desert planting calendar, contacts for recommended resources and so much more. I am confident I can be successful because of Angela’s help.
