About Me

Yvette Baptiste

Yvette Baptiste
I’ve spent my life surrounded by dirt and plants—first in my grandfather’s overgrown backyard in Michigan, then in the community garden where I volunteered as a teen.

To help anyone with a patch of soil and a little curiosity grow something beautiful—or delicious.
