Hello and thank you for taking the time to visit Marigold Gardens.

I’m April, the woman behind Marigold Gardens- passionate about sharing my lifelong gardening experience to help folks find greater success and joy in the journey of gardening. My mission is simple: to empower people to grow their own food, medicine, and beauty.

I am particularly drawn to edible and herbal landscapes and completely enamored with the concept of 'rewilding' by planting more native plants. Growing our food and medicine is a powerful step toward self-sufficiency and well-being. It nourishes not only our bodies but also our communities and the environment in profound ways. By thoughtfully integrating true native plants into our gardens and landscapes, we actively support local ecosystems, providing essential food and shelter for countless creatures whose habitats are increasingly at risk. Each native plant becomes part of a larger effort to sustain biodiversity and foster resilience within our natural surroundings.

As an "intuitive gardener," I believe that while drawing designs and plans on paper is an important part of the process, the land speaks to us in ways that no blueprint can fully capture. Gardening isn’t about rigid rules or forced precision—nature doesn’t work that way. My method blends thoughtful design with the natural flow of the land. While I create detailed plans to guide the process, I remain flexible and open to adjustments on-site, ensuring that the garden evolves in harmony with both human needs and the wisdom of the natural world.

At Marigold Gardens, my focus is on sustainable, regenerative gardening practices that build healthy soil and create thriving ecosystems. After all, a healthy kitchen garden depends on pollinators and beneficial insects—without them, it just doesn't work. This approach not only enhances biodiversity but also creates a low-maintenance, resilient landscape that will continue to flourish year after year.

Why Marigold Gardens? Because I believe we are not just gardeners—we are stewards of the land, no matter the size of our space. As responsible caretakers, we are guardians of the planet. Imagine if more people grew their food, created ecosystems that support native plants, and welcomed wildlife into their yards. The ripple effect of these actions could be transformative.

I’m here to guide you on this journey of discovery- helping you unlock your garden’s full potential. Let’s work together to create a space that nourishes you, your family, and the planet.
