“All that is very well,” answered Candide, “but let us cultivate our garden.” - Voltaire

I'm Katie, a writer, editor, musician and compulsive gardener. I enthusiastically grow edibles in our backyard and perennials everywhere else, and have served as a gardener for private homes for several years. 
I'm the Sustainable Food Systems Program Coordinator for Penn State, based in Erie at The Behrend College.
​
The more crazy the news becomes, the more inclined I've been to turn wholeheartedly toward the botanical world. To me, it feels more like tuning in than tuning out.


​Most days, I prefer to spend the currency of my time writing or gardening. I also edit both writing and gardens.
Turns out it's pretty similar work.

Feel free to contact me for freelance writing, editing, or garden brainstorming
(I'm even crazy enough to love weeding).
