“I’ve always been a farm girl at heart. I love digging in the dirt, it soothes my soul.”

I grew up in a row home in Baltimore city, but I counted myself lucky since our house was at the beginning of the row.  This meant we had a front yard, a side yard and a back yard — were land rich compared to our neighbors.  My Mom was the gardener and we always had a garden full of  big, juicy Maryland tomatoes (the best ever!), beans and strawberries.  I can attribute my love of gardening and grubbing around in the dirt to her.

I hope you will follow along as I share my experiences and tips on how to raise backyard chickens and growing a successful garden.

Helping people to grow their businesses and find creative solutions to their marketing challenges is what Godwin Marketing Communications is passionate about.  Her business philosophy is likened to gardening.

“I believe marketing is much like growing a garden — you have to start with a plan; deciding what to sow, when and where.  It takes some grubbing in the dirt and a lot of cultivating relationships.  It’s attending to individual needs of prospects, overcoming the setbacks (slugs of all sorts) and reaping the mutual benefits with satisfied customers.”
