Hi, I’m madison.

A wide scope of work has always seemed to bring me back to the same center, plants.

In my diet, my meditation, and the physical spaces I hold, their energetic contribution is absolute. Among the many superficial relationships that surround us, this one is passionate, reciprocal, and innately good. As much as I wish we could all spend the majority of our time in nature, that isn’t our reality. Our homes—the places we return to most often—should be our safe havens, spaces where we cultivate the energy we want to direct outward into the world.

The first step in my journey was to slow down my perception: watch the things in front of me develop, notice how my own contributions helped or hindered their growth, and learn to act in ways that foster positive change.

After 10 years of working on small organic vegetable farms and in sustainably minded food businesses, my path led me to ornamental estate gardening in the area where I grew up. This work is multi-faceted—about health, the planet, our ancestors, and our future. The lessons I’ve learned have carried me forward, and I hope to carry them forward through you.

In my practice, I emphasize low-impact tools that support a diverse soil web and foster an ergonomic relationship with our bodies. Organic practices allow plants to grow without developing chemical dependence, ensuring their long-term resilience. Healthy plants adapt to their environment, and those that thrive create synergistic, reciprocal relationships with the life around them.

In my spare time, I work as a Horticulture Steward for the Cape Elizabeth Land Trust. My focus is on native plant restoration at Turkey Hill Farm in Cape Elizabeth, historically a farm and orchard that is being utilized for its trails, working landscape and forests.
