Krystyna is co-owner and lead designer of Rooted Gardens. She studied Environmental Studies and Studio Art at Dartmouth College and had been passionately tending outdoor spaces to enhance humans interactions with the natural world for the last decade. 

Her current plant crush is Dicentra cucullaria (because a plant named "Dutchman's Breeches is adorable and silly and it provides early season nutrition to bumblebees) and her garden headphones are either playing nerdy plant podcasts or electro-pop. 

Matt Stuart's technical know-how delivers the theory of beneficial gardening and lawn maintenance into a reliable service to offer the opportunity to put your lawn where your mouth is. 

Jane found her way into the gardening world from a background in coaching and teaching. She enjoys working alongside a team to help plants grow and prosper in their local habitats. When she’s not in the garden she can be found in the woods! She finds nothing more remarkable than being out on a trail jaunt and witnessing the brief, joyful pageantry of spring ephemerals. Some of Jane’s podcast faves are Completely Arbortrary and Ologies with Ali Ward because they make her LOL while inspiring engagement in nature!

Sarah has a background in environmental science and soil biogeochemistry. After years working in academia, they decided they wanted something more hands-on and transitioned to gardening. They are at their happiest digging in soil and are always interested in ways to improve soil health and carbon sequestration in home gardens.

Their favorite plant is Canadian Wild Ginger, for the oft-under looked diminutive flowers and dark green heart-shaped leaf. Their headphones are usually playing some combination of news or plant podcasts or rock/punk music.

Lia has always been fascinated with plants; her first memory is of a vivid green basil leaf, warmed in the sun. She grew up gardening in the desert, but found home here in the Northeast Kingdom. Lia has spent the last five years studying Horticulture and Permaculture. She is a certified Master Gardener for the state of Vermont, a Sustainable Landscape Designer and a huge fan of informed pruning. When she isn't tending gardens, Lia can be found kayaking in the Whites or birding in the woods.
