Jennymarie Jemison is a graphic designer & creative director in Austin, Texas, who found healing and peace in her garden after a series of challenges impacted her body and her mental health. Joy Max Jardiń is her effort to share what she’s learned growing food and flowers in any space and with whatever materials you have available. Beyond just how and what to grow each month, she will teach you to create the most beautiful landscape possible. Following along with her you’ll learn how to use landscaping techniques and organic gardening methods, including companion planting of flowers and herbs with food crops. The Stay Home Garden Club was a way to learn the easiest methods to get a garden going quickly. It began in 2020 as the pandemic began and we were all in our homes with a lot of time on our hands.

JMJ in the Press:
“It gives you something to do that is outside of yourself and outside of your house. It also is a way to see that time is actually passing. You see a plant grow from a seed to a mature harvest and that’s real. And there’s also a sense of accomplishment in that.”
“There are so many benefits that a garden can give someone, especially someone who is isolated. In a garden, you’re never alone – I say that all the time, but it’s true – you have a habitat in your backyard that most people are not even aware of”
