Meet Natalie, a passionate gardener from the sunny shores of Alameda, has dedicated herself to the art of cultivating flourishing gardens and thriving farms. With a wealth of experience under her belt, she has honed her skills in the fields of horticulture and agriculture, making her a go-to expert in her community.

Ariadne has changed places, cities, and even countries quite a bit — which is how she developed an eye for things that help make a house feel like a home. Her passion for a minimalist lifestyle (to be easily packed up if needed!) is balanced by a childhood love for mementos and adornments that cozy up the space, and she’s glad to share her experiences and inspirations with readers. Having previously lived in a few larger cities, she currently resides in Belgrade, Serbia, where she enjoys a calm quiet life — but with all the advantages of a modern European capital city.
