About Cristen

Hi, I'm Cristen — a permaculture gardener, herbalist, and passionate plant lover based in Central Texas. I’ve been gardening for over 15 years, learning season by season how to work with the land. I studied community herbalism with the Wildflower School of Botanical Medicine, earned my Permaculture Design Certificate through the Austin Permaculture Guild, and continue to learn from mentors, hands-on experience, and the plants themselves.

I take a regenerative, ecological approach to gardening. That means choosing a diversity of plants that support each other, building healthy soil, and designing resilient spaces that support pollinators, people, and the more-than-human world.
