Welcome!
This collection of posts reflects my deep appreciation for the natural world, as well as my thinking about garden design and plants. Some were written in the earlier days of Growthfully, when I focused on bringing together garden planning with women’s wellbeing, before I turned my professional attention to therapeutic coaching and women’s circles. They lead into my more recent writings about women’s empowerment. I hope you find them inspiring.
Happy reading!
