Thanks for stopping by! I’m Lee Ann Lamb, a certified garden coach, Advanced Master Gardener, and founder of Storied Garden. Lots of farm fresh vegetables served at our house don’t come from farmers’ markets or produce aisles. They’ve grown in our kitchen garden just steps from our breakfast room door.

I haven’t always been a successful gardener. In fact, my first gardens were such disasters that I might have thrown in the towel if not for my dad’s encouragement. My perseverance rewarded me with homegrown fruits and vegetables that are full of flavor, better for our health, and kinder to the earth.

I founded Storied Garden to help others discover the joy of eating healthy food that’s grown in their own backyard kitchen gardens. There’s nothing quite like stepping outside, picking fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and herbs, rinsing it all, and devouring it fresh or making something delicious minutes after harvest.

Let me pause here to share one of gardening’s dirty little secrets: every gardener has had failures. I’ve lived through the fails and disappointments, so I can help you avoid mistakes and score more wins than losses. As your coach, I will share gardening knowledge that can help you gain confidence and skill. I’ll show you how to bypass the expensive, trial-and-error phase of growing your own food.

With a little encouragement, everyone can get creative, have fun, and become a successful, kitchen gardener. I can’t predict all the ways you’ll benefit from gardening, but I can promise you this: when you plant a garden, you’ll notice the earth’s natural cycles, improve your corner of the world, and gain satisfaction and freedom from doing things for yourself.

Getting your hands dirty also has a way of keeping you grounded. Plant something, nurture it, then stand back and watch it grow. Don’t be surprised if the whole process puts you in a calmer, more patient mindset.

Whether you’re a new grower, starting your first kitchen garden, or an experienced gardener who wants to relocate a garden, or maybe take one to the next level, I would love to help you achieve your gardening goals.

Contact me and let’s design a beautiful raised bed kitchen garden that’s ideal for your space and growing conditions.

I’m Lee Ann, an experienced gardener who grew up enjoying (and occasionally helping in) my parents’ vegetable and flower gardens. I’m at my happiest when I’m digging in the dirt or cooking meals made with the fruits of my kitchen garden.

Before starting Storied Garden, I was educated at Purdue and worked as an art director and in marketing and design for 30+ years.

My garden has been a joyful place where my children and parents have come together to laugh and tell stories.

You don’t have to be an expert to have a productive garden—a natural sanctuary where you relax from your cares and tune into nature. I can help you design, build, and maintain a flourishing, kitchen garden that you’ll be proud to share with friends, family, and neighbors.
