I’m Kirbi — an illustrator, maker and writer. I live in Michigan on a small Homestead with my husband, evan.
Here I share my art beyond my books — collaborations, miniature gardening, textiles, crafts …
life is my canvas.

Back to Eden gardening mimics the natural way the forest grows. We hope that by using this method we can support insects, sequester tons of carbon (and I mean, tons), and of course, grow healthy things to eat.
Before we can get to gardening we have a lot of work to do with the soil. Like, we gotta get some. While we could ship in 10 yards of dirt tomorrow… what’s the rush? While it will take time, our compost will have an unmatched quality to anything we could buy and also: free.
