Seattle Times named her a “rockstar in the ecological gardening movement.” Thanks to her leadership and artistic design talents, she led N.W. Bloom to numerous environmental awards, traveling nationwide as a speaker. She is a best-selling author of Free-Range Chicken Gardens (2012); Practical Permaculture Design (2015) which is now in 6 languages; and Creating Sanctuary: Sacred Garden Spaces, Plant Based Medicine and Daily Practices to Achieve Happiness and Well-Being (2017), alongo with its companion workbook Everyday Sanctuary (2019).
