Most people think you need lots of land to have a micro-farm or to homestead. And the truth is you don't! We've helped design sustainable gardens in as small as .15 acres, to as large as 3 acres. Leveraging Permaculture principles and regenerative strategies, you turn your garden-scape into a sustainable green business that actually supports your ecosystem!
The fact is, every garden, no matter the size, can make a meaningful impact to your ecosystem. The key is to understand your ecology, and getting in tune with the rhythm of nature. Whether its growing food for birds in the winter or a pollinator habitat for the spring, you learn how to use age-old regenerative gardening practices to grow at scale AND leave a positive impact on the planet.

Looking to kickstart a green business? Start your homestead? Or want to add more sustainability to your current garden? We've got you covered! Whether you're a novice or a seasoned gardener, we offer a diverse range of services and resources tailored to cultivate your passion for nature.

"Working with Elizabeth has been such a relief! Being able to find someone who could really align with my vision was so important. After her designs, I feel empowered to make my new landscape a reality, and I'm really excited to get started."

OUR STORY
I'm Elizabeth. In the midst of corporate chaos, I found solace in
flowers. Wanting to escape the stress, I planted seeds and got my
hands in the soil. Soon, I found myself hooked into the enchanting
world of flower farming.
Back then, I didn't know anything about soil, much less growing cut
flowers, but with each season, I learned. It was a long journey of trial
and error, a ladder climb where every step was a lesson.
Along my journey, I became certified in Permaculture Sustainable
Landscape Design from Oregon State University, studied medicinal
plants at Cornell University, became a Soil Consultant, and started helping others grow a sustainable garden or even start their green business. Starting an organic flower farm AND supporting our ecosystem to fight against climate change was no easy feat.
This platform is my way of sharing the knowledge I gained in the trenches. From growing your first seed to designing sustainable green businesses, I'm here to guide you through the intricacies of nurturing nature.
Seed and Scribe is more than a brand; it's an invitation to embark on a journey of growth, where the stress of corporate life is replaced with the serenity of blossoming bouquets.
Here's to growing and aligning with nature.🌻🌿
Elizabeth
