Back in the spring of 2020, I began providing gardening advice and services to friends and neighbors. I had always had a love for the outdoors and an interest in the natural world, so this was a great way to stay busy during the first few months of covid. Both my mother and grandfather pursued careers in the horticulture and gardening industries, and I benefited from having grown up around plant and nature lovers all my life. Now with Aster Garden Design, I am able to pursue my passion, and support myself while doing it.

As far as education and experience goes, I have:

• attended the Chesterfield Tech Center in high-school and completed the Environmental Biotech course

• taken some Environmental Science courses at the University of Richmond

• worked on the University of Richmond landscaping team

• received a Permaculture Design certificate from the Shenandoah Permaculture Institute

• worked full-time for a complete 6 month season at a small family-owned organic farm

• and am currently studying at Reynolds Community College to get my Horticulture degree and certificate of Sustainable Agriculture
