A Garden That Feeds You — Body and Soul
I believe your backyard holds more possibility than you know.
Hi, I'm Corinne — a kitchen garden designer, planting coach, and lifelong believer that growing your own food is one of the most nourishing things you can do for yourself and your family.
My path to the garden began with herbs — and a health challenge that sent me searching for answers. While studying herbalism to support my own healing, I started working with medicinal plants and found such profound results that I became completely captivated by them. That obsession with plants led me to grow my own culinary herbs, then vegetables, and eventually a full kitchen garden. What started as a search for wellness became a way of life.
The garden is my sanctuary — and I've made it my mission to help others find that same sense of peace, purpose, and connection in their own backyards. Most people want to grow their own food but hold back because they don't know where to start. That uncertainty can feel overwhelming — but here's the truth: it's so much easier than you think when someone shows you exactly what works. You don't need a green thumb. You just need a little guidance, the right plan, and someone in your corner who's already figured out the hard parts. That's exactly what I'm here for.
When I'm not in someone's backyard, you'll find me in my own — tending my raised beds, testing new varieties, and dreaming up the next season's planting plan.
What I believe about gardens — and the people who grow them
Rooted in Real Life
Gardens should fit your life — not the other way around. Every plan I create is designed around how you actually live, cook, and spend time outside.
Food as Connection
Growing your own food is one of the most grounding things you can do. It connects you to the seasons, to your family, and to something bigger than a grocery list.
Beauty Matters
A kitchen garden should be as beautiful as it is productive. I design spaces that you'll want to linger in — not just harvest from.
Guidance, Not Guesswork
You shouldn't have to figure this out alone. I'm here to take the overwhelm out of growing food so you can actually enjoy the process.
What people are saying
I absolutely love my kitchen herb garden! Corinne arrived with everything needed, making the entire process effortless — I didn't have to do a thing. What impressed me the most was her continued support. She provided simple, approachable recipes (perfect for someone like me who doesn't love to cook), followed up with easy-to-understand care instructions, and even returned to refresh and feed my garden. Corinne has given me the confidence to start growing my own food, and I couldn't be more grateful. I highly recommend The Nourished Garden to anyone looking to bring fresh herbs and homegrown goodness into their kitchen.

This was fun, helpful, & informative (this is coming from a non-gardener). I enjoyed the visual demonstration and hands-on experience. I also feel more confident watering and harvesting.

Wellness Herb Garden Workshop
I enjoyed learning about the medicinal properties of herbs. I liked the pace and how I learned more than just how to care for and manage herbs. It was informative and fun. An excellent overall experience.

This was a fun and informative hands on experience. The tastings at the end were great too! I feel confident managing water (of the plants) after this experience.

Atlantic Gardening Workshop
Every garden I design is a little different — and that's the point.
No two backyards are the same, and neither are the people who tend them. Whether you're starting from scratch or ready to level up an existing space, I'll meet you where you are and build a plan that actually works for your soil, your sun, and your life.
I work with homeowners, businesses, group organizations, and schools in Raleigh, NC, Wake County, and surrounding areas — offering garden design, planting plans, workshops, coaching, wellness herb garden installations, and corporate wellness programs. If you have been thinking about growing your own food, this is your sign.
