Hello
Hello my name is Naomi, thank you for visiting.
It's my mission to make interacting with nature not so much of a bewildering venture. I want to make it so that whether you live in the city in a small apartment, a backyard in the suburbs, or just have a small corner you have the knowledge you need to bring nature in. I believe in the health benefits that it will bring you such as the mental and emotional well-being it will bring for you and the whole family.

My Story
Hi, I’m Naomi Stephens, a Certified Permaculture Designer and Certified Nutrition Coach (CNC).
​
When I completed my permaculture design course in 2020, I knew I didn’t want to wait until I owned land or a home to put my knowledge into practice. I wanted to integrate permaculture into my daily life—right in my apartment. Living in an urban environment surrounded by concrete, traffic, and plastic, I was determined to prove that sustainable living isn’t just for those with sprawling gardens.
​
For my final permaculture design project, I focused on applying permaculture principles in an apartment setting. That experience led me to start my blog, where I documented my experiments—the successes, the challenges, and everything in between. I became the first to openly document turning food scraps into compost using the bokashi method in an apartment. I successfully cultivated mushrooms at home, created a vermicomposting system, and even grew plants alongside fish through aquaponics.
​
Through this website, I hope to inspire others living in apartments or small spaces to embrace regenerative practices. This isn’t just an indoor gardening blog—it’s a resource for sustainable living, including eco-friendly swaps, food preservation techniques, composting, vermicomposting, aquaponics, mushroom cultivation, and much more.
​
To take my passion even further, I became a Certified Nutrition Coach, combining my love for gardening with a focus on health and nutrition. I now share insights on how homegrown food can nourish both body and planet.
