Director & steward of the land at Forest & Flowers Retreat in Pennsylvania — a place for regeneration of the Earth and ourselves.
I'm devoted to expanding the diversity of our ecosystem as I cultivate a forest farm with flowers, herbs, and edible perennials, while also offering event spaces, accommodations, education, and experiences for other students of nature and stewards of the Earth.

Why they chose this property
Forest & Flowers Retreat is within 5 miles of McConnell’s Mill State Park and Lake Arthur at Moraine State Park, and a scenic 1 mile drive from the Slippery Rock Creek. Outdoor adventure awaits in the surrounding area with hiking, biking, kayaking, rock climbing, swimming, boating, and fishing among the lake, trails, and creeks.
Stay at the secluded Retreat House nestled in the woods on 50 acres for quiet solitude, or visit one of the quaint shops, restaurants, wineries or parks in the area.
McConnell's Mill State Park encompasses 2,546 acres of the spectacular Slippery Rock Creek Gorge – a National Natural Landmark. Created by the draining of glacial lakes thousands of years ago, the gorge has steep sides while the valley floor is scattered with huge boulders. Scenic overlooks and waterfalls are popular natural attractions.
Moraine State Park is 16,725 acres — one of the largest parks in western Pennsylvania. It includes 71 miles of trails and 42 miles of lake shoreline. The North Country Trail runs through the park, and you can hike many sections from different parking lots. Rent boats or kayaks, swim, picnic, and enjoy the waters of Lake Arthur.
- I-79 & Portersville: 5 miles
- Cranberry: 20 miles
- Downtown Pittsburgh: 40 miles
- Volant Shops: 15 miles
