“I have been watching Jess on YouTube for quite a while. She has given me inspiration to garden, confidence that I can start my own business and be successful and seems to put into words feelings I have in my soul that I could not begin to describe otherwise. Thanks Jess!”

“As someone who absorbs a lot of cooking/gardening content, I find Jess to be among the most relatable. I appreciate her perspective on life and gardening. I also love that she isn’t pushing crazy political narratives like a lot of popular food media. She’s a breath of fresh air.”
