Hello! I am Vanessa!

A Brazilian botanist who loves homegarden!! I have over 10 years of experience with vegetable and herb home gardens in containers and small spaces, such as apartments. I have also volunteered in community garden projects and helped several people start their own home gardens. In addition, I spent over two years in international botanical gardens in America and Austria.

Gardening is like therapy for me. I love plants in general, but container gardening is my passion. I am fascinated by how home-grown food can improve our mental and physical health. Working with the soil and plants has helped me a lot with stress – I feel more energized and happier after working in my garden. Gardening helps with mental health by reducing stress and anxiety. 

Besides, gardening contributes to the environment through carbon sequestration, supports pollinators, and can reduce or eliminate the use of pesticides and agrochemicals that harm our health.

In this blog, I show you how to have a beautiful and healthy home garden and share some tips to improve your overall health. 

“Taking care of a garden is feeding not only the body, but also the soul.”

Testimonials

``Vanessa inspired me about natural farming, so that's why I have developed a strong desire to have a food garden at home. First, she gave me a tomato seedling in 2015, since then I still have a edible garden at home - I have three tomato plants and one that never stops giving fruits. My garden also has ginger, coriander, basil, pepper, and rosemary. It's great to have a food garden and even my youngest daughter actively participates in it. Thank you very much, Van! You were the first step!!``

´´Vanessa helped me from the beginning from buying the plant pots to setting up the garden. In the past, I was careless and killed many plants. But she has encouraged me to have one, take care of our garden, and make sure I don't forget to water it. We already eat basil, lettuce, and arugula from our garden. The garden has helped me feel calmer by looking at it, talking to it, and taking care of it! The partnership with Vanessa has helped me overcome the challenges of having a garden and maintaining consistency. Thank you for your motivation!!!´´
