Gardener in Tucson, Arizona

I'm an
Individual
Hi there! My name is Kylie. I'm a lifelong gardener and formerly a fine dining chef in Chicago, IL and Jackson Hole, WY. Over the years I became more drawn to the agricultural side of the food industry and began an independent study of regenerative agriculture practices and permaculture. I began forming strong relationships with small local farmers and eventually realized that my passion for gardening outweighed all other passions in my life. So I opened a small meal prep and catering business in Chicago where I grew my own crops on a small scale and purchased product almost exclusively from tiny local farms. This attracted quite a bit of interest in gardening from my neighbors, and I began to teach the neighborhood families and kids how to grow their own food and care for the land. I was then asked by my landlord to be the landscaper for his two buildings. I heavily focused on native plants and soil health. This led to constructing more gardens for my neighbors in the area. I next traveled to Mexico, where I spent a bit over 2 months independently studying the farming and growing practices of small farmers in various climates of Mexico City and Guanajuato. My next, and most recent project was designing a visually appealing food plot garden for a friend's bed & breakfast in the remote woods of UP Michigan. I'm now in Tucson developing a new project that aims to preserve sacred heirloom varieties of Mexican crops. I’m passionate about nurturing the land and using environmentally beneficial practices. My dream is to work on ecological restoration, nurturing degraded land back to health. The desert is the perfect place for this. I’d love to turn your yard or property into a lush and thriving ecosystem. Do you want a pollinator garden? Your own vegetable plot? A fruit orchard? A home-composting system? The sky is the limit and I’d absolutely love to make your garden dreams come true. I look forward to chatting with you!
