When I was five, I planted a sunflower seed with my grandmother, and it grew taller than me. I was captivated — not just by the beauty of what we grew, but by the connection it created between us. That simple joy of nurturing life has stayed with me ever since.
Hi, I’m Leah, founder of Good Dirt Landscaping. I design and install Food Forests and teach outdoor education for children and adults — because it’s my passion, and my purpose. It’s an honor to carry forward the legacy of those who taught me to care for the earth and to share its wonder, fragility, and grace with others.
Whether you’re dreaming of a small garden, a full food forest, or a hands-on class that reconnects you to nature — I’d love to meet you and help you grow something beautiful.
Thanks for choosing Good Dirt.

Agriculture has been my profession for many years. After completing a BA in Agricultural Studies, I coordinated community gardens, farmed local organic food, then moved to nursery management at Bok Tower Gardens. Until I traded one nursery for another when my daughter arrived!
One important value at Good Dirt is passing on the love of growing. These days I’m mostly found working behind the scenes in our nursery and food forest; growing colorful abundance with my daughter learning beside me. I also love to paint, bring the same vibrant colors and expressions you see in nature to life on canvas!
Every yard can be a teaching space or a blank canvas ready to be painted, let’s grow abundance worth sharing in your space!
