About Me

Harriet Stapleton

Harriet Stapleton
I’ve always had a green thumb—whether it was sneaking seeds from my grandpa’s garden as a kid or turning a patch of dirt behind our apartment into a makeshift vegetable plot.

Think of it as a conversation between neighbors over the fence, where we swap stories and tips over a shared love of dirt, sunlight, and the occasional pest battle.
