A Garden Obsession Worth Sharing
When I first moved to Metuchen, I thought I’d keep things simple. One small raised bed, a few plants from Home Depot—nothing too crazy, right? Fast forward a few years, and my backyard looks like I’m auditioning for a gardening reality show. What started as a casual project quickly turned into an obsession, and every season, I found myself planting more, learning more, and loving every mistake and triumph along the way.
Gardening isn’t just about food for me (though, fresh tomatoes do taste like victory). It’s about reconnecting with nature, creating something from scratch, and sharing that joy with others. From my little corner of New Jersey, I grow every seedling with care, passion, and a healthy dose of “let’s see how this goes” spirit.
I’ve met so many amazing people who love talking soil, harvests, and backyard experiments, and that’s been one of the best parts of this journey—building a community of growers who help, inspire, and occasionally commiserate about squirrels ruining everything. Whether you’re a seasoned green thumb or just trying to keep your first plant alive, I’m here to help you grow something beautiful and rewarding.
Let’s get planting and share the journey together—because trust me, it’s worth it.
Gardening for Good
At NJBackyard, making a difference starts right here in our community. As the president of the Metuchen High School PTO, I’ve witnessed how the Metuchen Parent Teacher Council (PTC) supports our kids and teachers by fostering collaboration between parents and schools, providing resources for educators, and encouraging community engagement in education. That’s why 5% of every purchase from NJBackyard goes directly to the PTC, helping strengthen schools and families. When you grow with NJBackyard, you’re cultivating more than just your garden—you’re investing in a brighter future for our children and educators.
Proof Is in the Plants!
