From Pixels to Petals: A Gardener’s Journey
After 30 years in digital marketing and marketing communications, I found myself asking a question that wouldn't go away: Is this it?
On paper, everything looked great. But somewhere between campaign launches and analytics dashboards, I realized I was spending my entire life staring at screens, helping others sell products I didn't care about, while the most meaningful moments of my week happened in my garden.
For years, I'd grown herbs and vegetables in Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, and now Atlanta—watching seeds transform into thriving plants, harvesting fresh basil on a Tuesday morning, feeling the satisfaction of pulling a sun-warmed tomato off the vine. Those hours with my hands in the soil weren't just a hobby. They were the antidote to everything that felt hollow about my work life—the one thing that felt truly grounding.
So I made a change. A midlife pivot, if you want to call it that. I walked away from marketing metrics and traded screen time for green time—permanently.
Why Pixels to Petals Exists
Here's what I know: I'm not the only one feeling this way. We're all drowning in notifications, scrolling through other people's lives, wondering why we feel so disconnected despite being "connected" 24/7. The anxiety is real. The burnout is real. And somewhere along the way, we forgot that there's a whole world outside our screens—one that doesn't require a login.
Pixels to Petals exists to help Intown Atlanta residents make the same trade I did. Not necessarily a complete career change, but a lifestyle shift. A commitment to spending less time online and more time creating something real: a kitchen garden that feeds you year-round with organic herbs, vegetables, and fruits you grew yourself.
Beyond the Harvest
But this isn't just about fresh produce (though homegrown tomatoes in July are pretty incredible). It's about building ecosystems, not just gardens. When you plant the right herbs and flowers, you're not just feeding yourself—you're inviting pollinators back into your yard. Birds, bees, butterflies. Life returns. And suddenly, your small Atlanta garden becomes part of something bigger: a healthier local environment, one backyard at a time.
I guide my clients through every step—from soil preparation in Atlanta's notorious red clay to harvest techniques that keep your garden producing 365 days a year. Whether you're in Grant Park, Ormewood Park, Summerhill, or anywhere nearby, I'll help you create a space that improves your mental health, connects you to nature, and gives you something social media never will: the deeply grounding satisfaction of nurturing life with your own hands.
