Photo of Lee and Hayley harvesting sweet potatoes

Hello, my name is Lee, and I am the maintainer of Govinda’s Garden. I live with my wife, Hayley, in the Appalachian region of North Carolina. I’ve always dreamed of having some space to grow fruit trees so when I moved into our home in November 2021 I got to work right away. It’s been an amazing learning process so far! I occasionally post videos on YouTube, documenting my experiences and updates on our garden projects.

I chose the name Govinda’s Garden as a dedication and reminder that this home and land we are occupying is not ours. It belongs to our creator and eternal companion, and we are blessed with the opportunity to serve them as we attempt to create something that brings peace, joy, health, and abundance in a way that is harmonious with Mother Nature.
