Meet Garden Girl

Terry Trantham is a farmsteader born with a garden in her heart. She has traveled and lived across the globe, learning sustainable farming techniques from many cultures. Her hybrid philosophies have resulted in a glorious 5-acre food forest haven. Terry dedicates herself to spreading the message of love and abundance. She is a pillar of acceptance and positive living, and all you have to do is step foot on Garden Girl Farm to feel the magic!

“Terry's permaculture expertise transcends the realm of educator and encourager. She encompasses a magical, restorative relationship with land and people, so much so that she herself seems to sprout directly from the fertile soils she nurtures as the most beautiful flower in the garden.  In so doing, Terry shares her permaculture wisdom in humble, diversified ways that build the symbiotic relations between land, people, and spirit.  As an honored member of our Turtle Island Permaculture Institute's administrative team, Terry has gifted our own re-indigenization journey with precious mentorship while modeling for us the infinite power of Indigenous permaculture.”

---Jaimie Bernhagen, Co-Director, Red Earth Descendants, Turtle Island Permaculture Institute Administrator
