A Certified Permaculture Designer, author of *Growceries*, and host of *The Urban Permaculture Podcast*, she brings practical experience from Hogs & Hens Urban Farm in Dayton, Ohio—where she and her husband, Bob, are transforming a small urban property and neighboring lots into productive gardens, a growing food forest, and pollinator habitat. Heather’s experience is rooted in the challenges many aspiring homesteaders face: poor soil, close neighbors, and space that demands creativity. What began as a backyard hobby became a commitment to restoring land, growing food, and sharing the surplus with others. Her work demonstrates how resourceful homesteading can nourish both a household and its surrounding community. Through approachable talks on practical permaculture, small-space growing, and affordable food production, Heather connects big possibilities with manageable next steps. She equips audiences to put their land, time, and resources to better use—and challenges them to see a city address as a starting point for greater independence. ----------------------------------------------------------- STAGE INTRODUCTION (hand this to your emcee, read as-is) ----------------------------------------------------------- Our next speaker believes a city address should never limit what you can grow—or what you can accomplish.

She’s a Certified Permaculture Designer, author of *Growceries*, and host of *The Urban Permaculture Podcast*.
