Tend the Land

My Philosophy

The principal that informs all of my work with the land is that we must remake our relationship with the living earth into one of respect and kinship rather than domination and control.

What we choose to do, even with a small patch of land, makes an enormous difference to a single bee looking for a safe place to live and good food to eat. And it can have tremendous healing powers for us humans, too.

My services are for people who are seeking guidance and direction as they transform the land under their care. My goal is to help people read the landscape, understand what it is saying, meet the medicines and plant kin who live alongside them, and gently partner with them to create a diverse, vibrant space that nourishes both human and our more-than-human kin.

My experience is rooted in years of working with clients to create beautiful biodiverse spaces. But much more importantly, my advice and philosophy are informed by a lifetime of observing local plant and wildlife communities, and in over a decade of tending and living in close relationship to the beautiful land where I live.

How does a consultation work?

During our call, we’ll discuss the nature of your site, look over any pictures or videos you have of the land, discuss the plants and other kin who may be living there, and talk about different approaches you can take to encourage biodiversity and create a truly nourishing habitat.

If you are interested in a consultation, please fill out the form and we can chat.
