Meet the Founder
Hi!
I’m Kristi Hemingway-Weatherall
I started Thyme to Grow with the mission of helping to plant 1,000 gardens. If I can do this before I die I feel like I will have made the world a better place - and isn’t that pretty much what we’re all trying to do?
I know (from LOTS of science, and personal experience) that gardens really do make the world better in so many ways.
Here’s how it started: In 2020 (you remember?) we set up a free farm stand and renamed our little suburban lot the Weather-it-All Tiny Farm (see what we did there?). This year the WTF had a baby named Thyme to Grow, so that we can go from “give a guy a carrot, and he has a snack,” TO “teach a man to grow carrots and he feeds his family, regulates his life, supports pollinators, fixes a broken food system...”
I’ve been gardening on the Denver front range for a LONG time and I’ve made pretty much all of the mistakes that can be made - so you don’t have to! Along the way I leaned in on the field of wisdom and earned certifications from Denver Urban Gardens, the Boulder Permaculture Institute, and Gardenary Inc. (Just so you know I’m not full of manure).
I want nothing more than to support you in your gardening journey. Why not book a call so we can talk about your hopes, questions and budding garden dreams. No cost - no obligation.
Introducing the Weather-it-All Tiny Farm’s mascot, Marcello McFeisty - providing heavy doses of enthusiasm and chaos all around.
And, our head hen, Portia. You might remember her from The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare. She’s exceptionally wise and doubles as my business advisor.
“Gardeners are the ultimate optimists. To garden is to carry hope in your pocket and dirt under your nails - because no matter what’s going on in the world, we still believe in a brighter, greener tomorrow.”
