About Me

Kendra Schuster

Kendra Schuster
I’ve always had a soft spot for the quiet magic of watching something grow—whether it’s a stubborn tomato plant in my grandmother’s sunroom or the wildflowers pushing through cracks in the sidewalk where I used to play. My family’s backyard in Ohio was my first classroom, where I learned that gardening isn’t just about green thumbs; it’s about patience, curiosity, and a little bit of stubbornness. This site is where I share the lessons I’ve picked up along the way—tips that work, plants that thrive in my zone (and maybe yours), and the simple joy of getting your hands dirty.
