About Me

Roxanne Northrup

Roxanne Northrup
I’ve always had a green thumb—literally. My childhood was spent sneaking extra seeds from my mom’s garden to plant in the dirt behind the garage, even when she told me not to. Now, I run this site because I believe gardening should be as much about joy as it is about growth. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting with a windowsill herb, I’m here to share the tricks, quirks, and quiet victories of nurturing plants—and maybe a few lessons from my own overwatered fiascos along the way.
