Ecological gardening, rooted in place.

A free space for ecological gardening, native plant guidance, and seasonal living rooted in life experience.

iGrowHort began as a way of recording what I was learning across gardens in very different landscapes — the rhythms, the failures, the international comparisions. Over time it became something broader: a space to think in public about horticulture, ecology, and what it means to tend your land with care.

The site has grown because the messaging has changed, ecology takes priority over ornament and nature shines through. Professional support when followed provides learning opportunities for gardens and seasons, and a growing collection of resources that travel wherever you are.

This is a place to learn, read, to return to, and to find your way into work that takes the long view.
The seasons set the pace here.
