I started gardening 8 years ago on a rental balcony with a handful of pots and zero clue what I was doing.
I’ve had incredible tomato seasons - and I’ve had complete disasters (flopped carrots, garlic riddled with rust, the great zucchini incident of 2025 🤦).
Every failure taught me something.
And now I share all of it. The wins and the flops, with my community of 43,000+ gardeners across Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.
Based in the Bay of Plenty, NZ, I grow vegetables in both pots and garden beds.
My thing is making this genuinely accessible — if you’ve got a windowsill, a balcony, or a tiny patch of dirt, you can grow food. I promise.


Not sure what to plant this spring, or where to even start? I put together this guide for exactly that moment - when you’re keen but a bit lost.
It’s simple, it’s practical, and it’ll have you feeling ready to get growing before spring even officially kicks off.
