Hi! I’m Shannon, founder of Healthy Backyard Gardens.

I’m a mom, an engineer, and a lifelong gardener. For as long as I can remember, I’ve had my hands in the soil—learning, experimenting, and discovering how much joy (and good food!) a garden can bring. Over the years, gardening has become more than a hobby for me—it’s a way of creating balance, health, and beauty in everyday life.

Through Healthy Backyard Gardens, I bring a consultant’s eye and a gardener’s heart. My work focuses on designing systems that make gardening easier, more productive, and more rewarding—so you can spend less time troubleshooting and more time with your family enjoying fresh food, thriving plants, and a healthier home environment.

I believe every family deserves a healthy, thriving space—one that nourishes both people and the planet. Whether it’s growing fresh herbs and vegetables, restoring pollinator habitat, or simply carving out a green space to relax in, I want to help you create gardens that work in harmony with your life.
