Hi, I’m Summer Tucker-Sodrel, and I started gardening 10 years ago as a way to calm my anxiety and get away from the hustle and bustle way of life — but God used it to grow something far deeper. Through tending the soil, He’s taught me to slow down, enjoy His creation, and cultivate a space where my family can grow alongside me. Our family loves gardening together and sharing what we’ve learned along the way. On my channel, Southern Dirt Gardener, I take you through our personal journey of building a garden, farm, and food forest — all with the goal of living more sustainably. Whether you’re just starting out or have a brown thumb, I’d love to teach you how to grow organic food and live off the land. When I stated gardening I had no clue what I was doing and couldn't keep anything alive. With a little dedication and willing to learn I was able to take small steps to build our sustainable lifestyle. If I can do it you can too! I post monthly garden tours, seasonal planting tips, DIYs, recipes, and more. If you’d like to grow with us, please like, share, and subscribe! I release seasonal content to help you thrive in your garden — and I’m always happy to answer your questions. When you leave this page, we hope you feel inspired to grow something new — in your garden and in your life. And don’t forget to enjoy a little Southern Dirt and Sunshine with us along the way!
