Root Delight

Hi! I’m Patty and this is Josie.

I live on a 24 acre farm with two horses, three dogs, one cat, and two comical kittens.

Professionally, I am learning experience designer which means that I create curriculums and courses for corporate training and higher education. You can learn more about me at Patricia Stitson.

Living here has instilled a deep appreciation for having the ability to grow the food that you can pick and eat at your leisure. It is a privilege. Just by being here, I found myself learning more and more about gardening but this spring I decided to embark on my own research journey. Since I design learning for a living I decided to turn it into a project I could share with others!

The farm is owned by a master gardener with a background in plant and soil science. His name is Claude Forest Jr. and you can learn more about him at Organic Forest Design.
