About Me
Created to be a community for the eco-conscious and eco-curious gardener, birder, and all-around nature lover to learn and share information and guidance. If you love plants, wildlife, and learning to live more sustainably then you should feel right at home here. I would like to share what I’ve learned and learn from others who are willing to share as well.
Welcome! It’s lovely to meet you.
My name is Dani, and I am an ecologist, environmentalist, avid birder, wildlife photographer, and permaculture practitioner.
The idea for this site began as a place for my wildlife photos, but my outdoor adventures encompass so much more than just my weekend hobby. I wanted to share our journey in creating a beautiful green space for wildlife and ourselves as well as our mission to help others become more sustainable and self-sufficient.
I live in beautiful Clearwater, Florida with my husband Brent and our three teenage sons. Birds and growing things are my love and passion. One of my favorite activities is taking people on nature walks and teaching them about the habitat and our connection to it all.
On this site you’ll discover…
- Food forest and Florida native gardening – In this space you will find profiles of both Florida native and edible plants and how to possibly utilize them in your own space. Whether you have a large property or just a small patio, you can create a beautiful space that can be beneficial for your own well-being but also beneficial for the local wildlife as well. Learn more here.
- Florida habitats and ecosystems – I live in Florida, and I find the diversity and complexity of her habitats to be incredibly fascinating and worth preserving. You can learn more about our unique Florida ecosystems by scheduling a nature walk with me if you live in the Tampa Bay area.
- Florida local and migratory birds – From learning about local and migratory birds and how to spot them out in nature or how to attract them to your own yard. You can find all things birds here.
- The journey to live sustainably – We live a vegan lifestyle and started the journey towards minimalism a few years ago. We have since taken other steps towards limiting our impact on the planet, and you can find more information on our experiences here.
