Writing
Just someone wanting to shout from the rooftops about the little joys of life. I’m excited about sharing such words with new audiences and platforms.
My writing topics of interest and expertise revolve around gardening and sustainable living. In particular:
Cultural food gardening: growing and cooking Asian veggies, herbs and flowers
Growing food and flowers in backyards and small spaces
Uncommon and interesting plants - deep dives of said plants
Urban permaculture and sustainable living
Backyard chickens and Japanese quail
Gardening & outdoor DIY and craft projects
I have a large selection of garden photography that I can provide to accompany my stories.
