Lindsey was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, and while she enjoyed eating and shopping in the city, the country setting of Athens always felt like home.

She first moved to Athens in 2000 to attend Ohio University and found home in the small town culture, rolling hills, forests, and people who would become lifetime friends. She always enjoyed finding unique clothing and household items at thrift stores and garage sales that she visited with her mother and grandmother. Her grandmother sparked in Lindsey a love for plants and consequently, she worked for over a decade in the green industry as a landscaper, a farmer florist, and garden center manager.

Lindsey finds joy in cooking, travel and gardening, and is passionate about supporting and participating in the community that she loves.
