Hi, I’m Linda. I am a wife, mom, daughter, friend, writer and coach – each beautiful title is how I live out my Catholic faith for the Master Gardener of my life and how I am called to answer God’s commission “therefore, go and make disciples of all nations“.  

This site is a footprint into the hills and valleys I call life; a journey within. Inspired by the beauty of God’s creation, and the lessons revealed in caring for it, Gardener’s Touch was born. The garden’s simplicity is where I find solace and peace; it is where I think, where I forgive, where I challenge myself, and where I find inspiration to make the world a more beautiful place.

Our story of faith begins and ends in a garden, and in between are the simple and ordinary things of life that are planted, nurtured, and called to new life. Here, God is rooted deep in the center of my heart. Therefore, I seek to study His Word and let it take root in my soul, apply its Truth where I am, and share it in all I say and do. My opinions are one of many but authentically mine for my life’s path.

Gardening is a regenerative act of hope, love, and inspiration for the body, mind, and soul. When we are grounded in God’s goodness, truth & beauty, we learn to connect to a simpler, quieter life that our soul yearns for.  The mountain moments, those tender encounters with God, give us the strength to sustain us in the valley when life feels hard and ordinary.

Equipped with life experiences as a wife, mother, daughter, and friend, I seek to follow Christ’s example of journeying with others as they encounter the love of God and calls them to be fully alive in every season of life.

So, enter through the garden gate and spend some time with me. May you find joy in your heart, peace in your soul, motivation for your journey, and inspiration to make your life and the world a more beautiful place.
