No matter how much my life shifts, I suppose I will always be the woman who starts seeds in late winter. Even in the midst of deep uncertainty.

In this episode, I’m sharing what starting over looks like in my new garden. I’ll walk you through the new space, the first steps I’m taking to build a garden from scratch, and the goals I have for it both now and for the future. I’m sure these plans will shift and evolve over the coming months, but for now, this is where I’m beginning.
