About Michelle

RN, BSN • Garden Content Creator • Organic Raised-Bed Gardener

I planted my first seed at 48 years old, and a few backyard raised beds soon became something much more: a thriving garden sanctuary filled with fresh food, flowers, pollinators, and lessons learned through every season.

My years as a nurse taught me to observe closely, ask thoughtful questions, and keep learning and it turns out those are the skills that turned out to be just as valuable in the garden as they are in healthcare.

Through Michelle’s Garden Grows, I share practical guidance, seasonal inspiration, and the real-life journey of creating a beautiful, productive backyard garden that nourishes people and supports nature. I create garden videos, collaborate with trusted brands and have had the opportunity to share my gardening insight through local media features, podcasts, and online gardening communities. collaborations, and local media features.
