Haley Maddox
Meet the team

A gardener who builds with AI. It's Haley, but with AI.

I live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with my two dogs, Colt and Wes. We enjoy eating, drinking, working, and travelling.

In 2021 I bought a house in the city and started turning the lawn into an edible, sustainable pollinator garden. The boys supervise.

I studied education and computer science, so I teach what I learn and build the tools to share it. That's hailey: Haley, but with AI.

My mission

Take what I learn the hard way, and make it easy for the next person.

Why this site exists

Teacher by training, gardener by choice, builder with AI

You'll see "made by hailey" at the bottom of my pages. That's me, with AI helping. The knowledge, the photos, and the garden are mine; AI helps me plan, build, review, and share what I've learned. Nothing goes live until I approve it.
