Elizabeth grew up on a 50-acre homestead just 30 miles north of Seattle. Her love of gardening and horticulture began at a young age, and gaining experience and knowledge through her mother who herself was a Master Gardener. 

 

Over the years she worked in the finance, brand management, and customer service industries but always felt more at home in the garden. In 2015, she began pursuing an education in Permaculture Design and completed an online independent study course. And then in 2016, also completed a Permaculture Design Certificate Course through Oregon State University and received Master Gardener Certification from Washington State University. 

 

Her current goal is to create a non-profit that teaches people how to grow and manage their own food supply using permaculture techniques, as well how to live more sustainably. 

 

She currently lives in Vancouver, Washington with her husband, Joe, and their blended family of 6.
