Dreaming of a garden, but not sure where to start?

You’re not alone.

Many busy people long for fresh herbs, flowers, and veggies just steps from their kitchen door, but end up feeling overwhelmed by the planning, the choices, or the upkeep. And in Houston’s climate, online advice can feel conflicting — while trial and error can take years.

Gardening doesn’t have to feel so complicated. With the right support, it can become approachable, joyful, and life-giving — and together, we’ll learn to partner with nature so your garden has the best chance to thrive.

Meet Your Garden Designer & Coach

Hi, I’m Kimmi — the heart behind Nurtured Garden Studio. I believe gardens should bring peace, confidence, and joy, not endless research or second-guessing. I love helping busy people discover the beauty and abundance that’s possible in their vegetable, herb, and flower gardens — even in our unpredictable Houston climate. Through custom designs and one-on-one coaching, I focus on making gardening clear, approachable, and nurturing, so your garden becomes a source of connection, confidence, and ease as we work with nature, not against it.

Working with Kimmi as a coach has been an incredibly rewarding experience. Her deep knowledge of gardening is matched only by her ability to teach, guide, and inspire. She doesn’t just offer advice, she empowers you to see your own potential and take meaningful action. Highly recommend to anyone looking to elevate their green thumb and mindset.

I had an amazing experience working with Kimmi on my garden project! From the very beginning, she guided me through every step - designing, planning, sourcing materials, finding the right partner for installation, selecting plants, and planting. Her expertise and advice made the process seamless, ensuring I chose the right plants for my yard and Houston’s climate.

Beyond just creating a beautiful garden, Kimmi took the time to teach me the basics, giving me the confidence to care for and maintain it myself. Thanks to her thoughtful approach, my family now has a wonderful outdoor space where we can spend quality time together. I highly recommend Kimmi to anyone looking to build or transform their garden!

Spaces We’ve Brought to Life

Here’s a glimpse at some of the gardens we’ve nurtured, gardens that have become places to gather, recharge, and connect.

Kimmi is amazing!! I am completely new to gardening in Houston and really only had the internet to help. Kimmi came over, showed me when I should plant certain herbs, vegetables, and flowers for a successful garden year round. She helped me understand the plant life cycle from seed to flower so I saw exactly the steps I was “skipping.” I am more driven and much more encouraged since having Kimmi over. I will continue to work with Kimmi for success throughout the year. Her insight and assistance is well worth every penny.

Kimmi is the best! She installed 2 raised beds for me, walked me through (and went and bought because I was sick) what to plant, and is now working with me on how to keep alive and harvest. I just made pesto from the basil I grew! As a family we have enjoyed watching our plants grow. As a semi-retiree, Kimmi has introduced me to a new hobby, for which I’ll always be grateful!
