Beschreibung

Greetings! (:
My name is Kimberly and I was born in Massachusetts, USA. I love the Earth, connecting with others, anything to do with plants/tending to the land, and art.

For the past 4 years I have lived in Northern California as an herbalist and working on a flower farm. I spent this time teaching herbalism workshops, leading local plant walks, gardening/performing farm tasks, and assisting in floral design and wedding preparation. I also have my own art business and love pottery, jewelry making and painting! While I love doing all of these things in my free time, I also love deep conversations, reading, and spending time in nature.

I am inspired to go beyond my comfort zone by traveling the world in my current season of life. I am ready to exchange knowledge with others, and to be of service. I look forward to meaningful connections and making new memories.
