Hey Friend!
I’m so excited you’re here and I can’t wait to meet you! I’m Andrea, an overall passionate person about native plants, butterflies, and gardens in general. And now owner of a little plant nursery and landscape company – eeek!! With my husband we’ve been cultivating our property for over a decade now and, on a whim, are taking a big leap at a dream.
Last April I shared a video on my socials of a lawn conversion and decided then that, “This is it. This is what I want to do for the rest of my life. First at home, then at work, then anywhere people, businesses, organizations will let me.” Since then I’ve been learning everything I can and helped start the Kosciusko County Native Nerds group and helped launch and implement an expanded version of The Watershed Foundation’s Beyond Lawns program with an amazing team of women.
Now I want to help you!

Butterfly House
Nestled in the middle of our vegetable garden is our butterfly house. Though we don’t rear butterflies anymore
we do still use our butterfly house as an observation and learning opportunity and is open to guests.
Rose Tunnel
Built for back when I did motherhood and family photography the rose tunnel is now almost fully covered and is an ethereal sight when in peak blooms.
Garden Tours
Each year we welcome homeschool groups
and private groups to tour the various gardens. This includes our new-coming this summer manicured meadow, rose tunnel,
micro orchard, hoop house, vegetable garden,
native flower bed and others that are under construction as we add more native habitat and change our gardening methods.
Passion Projects
Last year we were asked to help design and coordinate a community garden at our friend’s church. Roughly 10,900 people are food insecure in Kosciusko County as of 2023 and that number is continuing to grow. Community Gardens are becoming a larger part of something we’re passionate about advocating for. This year we’ll also be coordinating the garden arm through Kosciusko’s non-profit Make Room in underserved neighborhoods.
