Hey...I'm Dria!

I’m a Texas gal, and I started my food growing journey during COVID. At the time, I was working in corporate America in the food industry, and I saw firsthand just how fragile our food supply can be and how quickly access to food can change.

​

That experience completely shifted the way I thought about where my food comes from. So I made a vow to grow as much of my own food as I could.

​

And let me tell you, I’ve made plenty of mistakes and killed more plants than I’d like to admit. But every failure taught me something, and each season I got better, wiser, and more confident in what I was doing.

​

Today, I grow the vast majority of my produce right in my suburban backyard, and now I’m passionate about helping you start your own journey too, even if it’s just a pot with a few herbs.

​

Here, you’ll find beginner friendly gardening tips, real life lessons from my backyard, and the encouragement you need to keep going with no fluff and no perfection required. Just practical support to help you grow more of what you love.

 

And because growing food is only part of the story, I also share simple food preservation tips and easy recipes to help you use what you grow, waste less, and enjoy your harvest all year long.

​

Remember… every black thumb ripens to green. It all just starts with a seed. 🌱

​

Happy Growing!
