About Lisa
My name is Lisa and I love gardening.
Where Things Grow was created by an experienced home gardener who believes food gardens should be practical, peaceful, and doable for real families.
After years of growing from seed, planning seasonal gardens, preserving harvests, and teaching children hands-on gardening, this site was built to share simple tools and guidance that actually work.
Everything here is designed to help you garden with confidence—whether you’re just starting out or refining what you already grow.
