About Me

Fiona Castellano

Fiona Castellano
I grew up in a house where the back porch was always overflowing with potted herbs, tomato plants, and my grandma’s famous sunflowers. She taught me that gardening isn’t just about growing things—it’s about patience, curiosity, and the quiet joy of watching something thrive.
