“Gardening is a way of showing that you believe in tomorrow”.

Since 2016, Sharon has been dedicated to exploring and practicing organic vegetable and cut-flower cultivation, homesteading, sustainability, responsible landscaping, ecologically driven landscape design, and pollinator-friendly gardens. Her work blends hands-on growing with thoughtful design, rooted in a deep respect for the land and the systems that sustain it.

She comes from a long line of arborists and loggers who passed down practical knowledge of working with trees and plants. Her connection to the land deepened as she began focusing on healthier eating and healing her gut, which led her to research the impacts of pesticides and herbicides used in industrial agriculture. Learning about their effects on soil health, water systems, and human and animal wellbeing inspired her to return to the basics—growing food organically and learning how to live with a lighter environmental footprint.

Sharon began her journey through permaculture and homesteading, studying how small families can sustainably meet their needs while minimizing environmental impact. She later spent time working with small organic farms, gaining insight into their systems, local economies, and the ecological and social value of family-run agriculture. Recognizing that not everyone has the time, land, or ability to grow their own food—but that everyone can play a role in caring for the environment—she expanded her focus to home gardening, victory gardens, and responsible land stewardship.

After relocating to her hometown in Fairfield County, Connecticut, Sharon now helps clients cultivate organic vegetable and cut-flower gardens, create intentional landscape and garden designs, and develop sculptural outdoor container plantings. She also offers educational consultations that empower people to engage more confidently with their outdoor spaces. Her goal is simple yet meaningful: to draw people outside, encourage them to slow down, and foster a deeper connection with the living world—one that inspires gratitude, awareness, and care for the land beneath their feet.

Sharon holds an undergraduate degree from the School of Visual Arts (2011), a Permaculture Design Certificate (2016), a Small-Scale Agriculture Certificate (2017), and is a graduate of the UConn Master Gardeners Program (2019).

She is currently pursuing a Landscape Design Certificate at the New York Botanical Garden, with an expected completion date of spring 2027.
