Roots, Shoots, and Second Breakfasts
Shop the Shire serves the residents of the city of Davis and Yolo County with kitchen garden consulting and coaching, homegrown vegetable seedlings, and answers to your most pressing garden questions.
Kitchen Garden Coaching
Starting a kitchen garden can feel overwhelming…but it doesn’t have to be! Want advice on what to grow? Want to learn more about how biodiversity impacts garden health? Want to create a kitchen garden from scratch? I can help!
My spring and fall plant sales can help you get started growing fresh veggies and herbs to feed your family and friends. I only grow varieties that I plant in my own garden so you can be sure that the quality is top notch.
Seasonal Plant Sales
Ask me anything!
I love to use my years of experience growing kitchen gardens and my training with the Master Gardener program to help others achieve their kitchen garden dreams! From pest control to irrigation, from artichokes to zucchini, if you have a specific gardening inquiry send it over and I will do my best to help!
My Philosophy
I created Shop the Shire to help my community make their kitchen gardens a success while building a better backyard ecosystem and ensuring peace of mind by supplementing household food supply. I believe this starts with healthy chemical-free seedlings of tried-and-true varieties and sharing everything I have learned.
