As someone who has lived all over the world, I love the sense of constancy that gardening gives me, and the love language that food offers."

A little about Ang, the blog author—

My name is Ang and I am a transplant from the Caribbean to Minnesota. I am a Master Gardener and I love sharing my garden nerdiness. I am also a trail runner in love with the sport.

My heart is torn between my love for the Caribbean Island where I was born and raised, and the beauty I have found in the midwest. Life in the midwest was quite a change for me (especially the winters). But I have come to love this state and the people who live here. 

While I grew up in an island, I lived in a city all my life, and it was not until I met and married my husband, a crop farmer, that I was immersed into this farm life. Six years later, and I am still learning. But I love the farm life and the community I live in.

Yes, I was a city girl but always had a love for country living, so this was an easier transition for me than everybody thought.  I love the quietness, the friendliness of our neighbors, our close knit community, the breathtaking sunsets, the planted fields that go for as long as the eye can see, the fresh breath and everything else country life has to offer. 

And on those days when my heart is homesick for the sound of the crashing waves, the smell of salt in the air, and the beautiful turquoise waters of my island, I close my eyes, and imagine that I am there. Or hop on an airplane. There is always that option too. :)
