About Me

Estelle Yamada

Estelle Yamada
I’ve always had a green thumb—literally. My first memory of gardening is sneaking seeds from my grandfather’s tomato plants and trying to grow them in a shoebox by my bedroom window. That shoebox garden didn’t last, but the habit did. Now, I’m here to share the lessons I’ve learned over the years: how to coax life from stubborn seeds, turn a patch of dirt into a thriving space, and find joy in the small, messy victories of growing things. Whether you’re a seasoned green thumb or just starting, I hope these tips help you make your garden—and your outdoor space—feel like home.
