Hi, I’m Erin, the gardener, educator, and creative mind behind The Knotty Garden. 🌿

I started sharing my gardening journey on Instagram in 2022—and what began as a simple passion quickly grew into a thriving community of over 180,000 like-minded growers. My love for plants, food, and sustainability has transformed my urban garden into a lush, productive oasis—one that I planned, designed, planted, and maintain entirely myself.

I have a Master of Science degree from UBC’s Faculty of Medicine, where I was also clinical faculty, and I bring that science-based mindset into the garden. I love experimenting, testing methods, and sharing research-backed knowledge in a way that’s engaging, accessible, and fun. My goal? To help you grow more food, in less space, with confidence.

I’ve had the honor of speaking on stage at major gardening events, collaborating with renowned brands, and creating digital resources—like my upcoming Kitchen Garden Blueprint eBook and my printed Garden Journal—to help gardeners of all experience levels plan, grow, and succeed.

Beyond gardening, I believe in taking up space, challenging stereotypes, and making gardening approachable for everyone. Whether I’m knee-deep in soil, on stage, or sharing my latest viral garden hack, I want to inspire joy, curiosity, and confidence in every gardener.

Welcome to my garden! Let’s grow something amazing together. 🌱
