TELL ME MORE

Do you have a tendency to kill plants? Are you confused by botanical terminology?

Does any of this sound familiar? —

  • You’ve purchased the seeds & plants, but your efforts go to waste. Your seeds don’t sprout and your seedlings languish until imminent death.
  • You’ve been successful growing a few plants here or there, but you’re embarrassed to talk to other plant people for help because you don’t understand phrases like “blooms on new wood” or “leaf axil”.
  • You desperately desire a lush cottage garden or a thriving market-style field, but you’re overwhelmed with where to start.

Meet the author

Hi, I’m Taylor

I’m a flower farmer, freelance garden writer, new author, amateur YouTuber, homesteader, wife, and mom living in an isolated, rural area of Illinois. I live amongst panoramic corn and soybean fields, giant limestone bluffs, & sticky river bottom clay.

I come from a long line of farmers, and I’m proud to join the ranks as a flower farmer and partner to my husband as we also produce corn, soybeans, wheat, and hopefully grassfed beef in the near future! I love all things homesteading, family, and agriculture.

I hope you pick up a copy of You Don’t Have a Black Thumb to begin your very own growing journey! I’d love to help you plant the first seed in your impending quest.

You can have a green thumb. You can have the garden of your dreams. Take the first step today.
