About Me

Kristen Mahler

Born in Vancouver, Canada to Australian and Swiss natives and moving all over the world by the time I was 13 until we finally settled in Melbourne, there could have been a sense of feeling ungrounded. When I was five or six, I remember spending hours in our veggie garden pulling up whatever I could, tasting and then guessing what it was. I did the same in every house I’ve lived it. Whether it was with edible plants or flowers, the power of a garden kept me grounded. That sense of being grounded came from the unripe sour strawberry I spat out (much to my Dads annoyance).

The point is, nature is powerful. I want to help people have that same relationship with their garden that I had with mine growing up. In turn, your garden will keep you grounded.
