About Me

Valerie Alvarado

Valerie Alvarado
I’ve spent more summers than I can count digging in the dirt, whether it was helping my grandpa plant his famous tomato garden or sneaking seeds from the grocery store to grow my own tiny green world in a shoebox.

This site is where I share the lessons I’ve learned—from the big wins to the lessons that only come after a few too many failed experiments. If you’re just starting out or have been gardening for decades, I hope you’ll find something here to make your green thumb a little greener.
