Vegetable Gardens & Edible Landscape
Consulting, Planning and Planting Service Hello! My name is Kathleen Porter.

I'm a wife of almost 18 yrs to Brian and a mother to 6 wonderful kids ages 14-4. Over the past few years, I have made it my hobby and passion to revitalize our backyard landscape into a diverse, edible landscape. I want my children to have access to homegrown fruits and vegetables while also knowing what it takes to get them! I also enjoy sharing this passion with friends and family when they came

Available for preorder! Marge Elderberry plants. ‘Marge’ is a hybrid between the American Sambucus canadensis and the European Sambucus nigra. The berries are larger than the American varieties and ‘Marge’ is also self-pollinating so only one plant is necessary for fruit production.
