I help people who want to grow food and community at home, but don’t know where to start. I don’t just draw up designs, I teach people how to plan, care for, and leverage their outdoor spaces for reciprocal care, so they feel more connected and empowered in a world that makes it easy to feel overwhelmed.

Edible landscapes, ecological design, and real human support in the Indianapolis area.

A thoughtful plan for your garden, centering plants that suite your space and taste and feed people and pollinators alike. Both ready-to-grow and custom designs available.

Learning to grow sustainably is an ongoing practice, so wherever you are in your gardening journey, I’m here to help you feel more capable, confident, and connected.

Growing is better together. Explore ways to strengthen your sense of connection and support through learning cohorts and community building toolkits.

  • "The experience was so much more than we expected. Sarah built a plan that clearly was for us and our taste that we can use as a guide for years to come. Walking away from this experience, we both feel empowered and prepared for whatever nature throws our way."

    — AC S. (Indianapolis, IN)

  • “My experience with Plot Indy was fantastic! I discussed my needs with Sarah and she created a thoughtful and beautiful design for our side yard. It's so nice, I'm now looking to do some planting in my backyard. Highly recommend!”

    — Tyler P. (Fishers, IN)

  • “Sarah has done a wonderful job helping me create a space I love, yet will be able to take care of as I enter retirement. I've never grown food before, but now grow an abundance of herbs, strawberries, potatoes, tomatoes, leafy lettuce, and more!”

    — Laura M. (Fortville, IN)

  • "Sarah and her team were incredibly helpful. Their work and attention to detail were above and beyond. We are feeling optimistic and VERY EXCITED, and I know exactly who to run to if we feel like we need help.”

    — Kristen L. (Indianapolis, IN)

  • “Sarah blew away our expectations for what we thought was possible with our yard. We love how she included sustainable plants that not only look great, but better the environment. She helped guide us through the process from start to finish, even helping with HOA approval."

    — Lauren H. (Fishers, IN)

Growing an edible or ecological garden is hope in action. If you need convincing, consider that:

  • Instead of mowing and maintaining a grass lawn, you can create a living landscape that nourishes your family, your neighbors, and the living world.

  • A well planned garden can thrive with fewer inputs (labor, water, and fertilizer), making it easier to care for with everything else on your plate.

  • Native landscapes, in particular, sequester carbon, conserve water, and provide food and habitat for wildlife, which mean your yard could be part of the solution in the face of climate change.

  • Investing once in perennials and thoughtful design can mean years of harvests that help reduce your grocery bill and provide an added layer of food security in uncertain times.

  • Every edible and/or native plant you root in the ground today creates a healthier, more resilient world for generations to come.

There’s real power in knowing you can grow in ways that feel accessible, joyful, and deeply rooted in care. That’s what I’m here to help you do.
