Head of the garden. Raises the monarchs. Builds this site as hailey.

“Well done is better than well said.”
I studied education and computer science, and I use both on every page here. The teacher in me asks what you need to know first. The programmer in me builds the tool that handles the rest.
That's why every guide on this site follows the same lesson plan: what you need, what you do once, and what you do every time. You shouldn't have to read my whole year of notes to pack a bag or plan a bloom calendar.
Not everything I build is code. The arch bed in the garden is one cattle panel, sprung into an arch, pinned with rebar, and held with U-bolts. Built by hand.
My missionTake what I learn the hard way, and make it easy for the next person.
Haley, but with AI.
You'll see "made by hailey" at the bottom of my pages. That's me, with AI helping. It builds the page while I'm busy with everything else. The knowledge, the photos, and the garden are mine. When Colt and Wes run out of ideas, I turn to AI to help me plan, build, review, and share what I've learned.
The garden, the recipes, the cities, the type 1 days. My notes and photos are the source for everything.
What should you leave knowing? I sketch the page and decide what goes first.
AI turns the sketch into a real page: the layout, the code, and the checks. I can read what it writes.
Every change comes to me to review. Nothing goes live until I approve it.
I care a lot about sustainability, and most of that shows up in my garden. That's why I grow native wildflowers.
They feed the bees and butterflies too.
See my wildflower gardenThere's always more to learn and more to do: seeds to start, caterpillars to raise, recipes to test, cities to see, a type 1 setup to figure out. AI helps me share what I can, when I can, so what I learn along the way doesn't just stay in my notes.
I know AI uses real energy, and that sits alongside everything I just said about caring for the planet. So I use it on purpose, for work that helps people learn and grow things, not just to make more stuff.
Every photo is a spot in the garden. Follow the path, then visit the part you like.
