I have been caring for plants for over a decade, from my own collection to rescues from friends who gave up on theirs. Many a discarded plant has found a home with me and flourished.

I believe good plant care comes down to consistency, observation, and learning. Every plant has its own needs, and the goal is to help it thrive where it is, not force it to fit. My approach is patient and practical, focused on understanding what each plant is telling me. I lean toward natural methods but use whatever works best for the situation.

Like the plants I care for, I keep learning and growing - currently through the UConn Master Gardener program.

When not getting dirt under my nails, I’m likely spending time with my wife and dogs, meeting up with friends or working on the never ending list of house to-dos.
