"Caitlin, fulfilled a bucket list dream of mine to create a vegetable garden and enjoy the harvest. It was fun to watch the baby plants grow and mature producing great tasting organic zucchini, swiss chard, basil, tomatoes among other herbs and vegetables.

I highly recommend Caitlin. She is knowledgeable, efficient and fun. She will customize your desires for a healthy beautiful garden. I am enjoying mine so much!"

“Caitlin, at Luma Front Yard Farming is garden magic. It was a long time dream of mine to have a garden that would feed my family.  But when I finally had the space to have the garden, I didn’t have the first idea of where to start. Caitlin worked with me through every stage. She listened to what kinds of vegetables my family would eat, and then made recommendations of how much and which varieties to plant. She evaluated the garden space and then developed a clear and detailed plan for where everything should be planted. In addition, she answered all of my questions during the early stages of the garden - how to prune my tomato plants, what types of flowers to plant to attract more bees, and how to rework one of the garden beds to fix an issue with the soil and hydration. Caitlin’s vast knowledge of regenerative farming practices is unparalleled.

The garden has become a vital part of our daily life. As a family we go to the garden every day to see what is ready to be harvested - that time together has been such a gift. My children have learned that hard work in the garden results in delicious and nutritious fruit and vegetables, and they enjoy coming up with ideas for meals to use all of the produce.  It has also been a joy to be able to share our bounty with other families in our community.”

“My family moved to Petaluma in January, into a new build with a small yard that was nothing but dirt. Being new to the area, we had no idea about what would grow well, what we could expect weather-wise, and really, no idea of how to begin such a daunting project. All we knew was that we wanted a beautiful garden that was regenerative and had lots of flowers and veggies, and would invite native pollinators into our yard. 

We were lucky to discover Luma Front Yard Farming early on, and met with Caitlin several times to discuss how we could incorporate our vague ideas into a comprehensive plan. She gave us a detailed plan, she found us a terrific contractor to build raised beds with drip irrigation and fantastic soil, she listened to what we wanted to grow, and she worked with us on specific plants we wanted. And most importantly, she made it fun!

Caitlin planted in late April, and by early July we were already harvesting tomatoes, eggplant, cucumbers, basil, chives, dill, cilantro and lots of zinnias and sunflowers. By late August, we had a gorgeous bounty of produce and flowers that wildly exceeded our expectations. Oh, and the variety of birds, bees, and butterflies are such a joy to watch!

I can’t say enough about how wonderful it was to make our dreams into a reality, thanks to Caitlin’s knowledge, kindness, and ability to really listen.”
