From Miami roots to a Central Florida food forest.
I am Toni. A gardener, a mother of four, and a Realtor helping families plant roots that last. Born and raised in sunny Florida, I brought that Miami tropical energy up to Central Florida, and now our whole yard feeds our family.
Serious gardening really began for me when I met my husband, Jermaine. Together we are building a food forest, a place where our four beautiful babies can see exactly where their food comes from.
I come from a hardworking Haitian family, raised by a grandmother who taught me that the best meals are rooted in tradition and fresh ingredients. Today I am passing those grandma-approved skills down to my kids, usually with a baby on my hip and a garden trowel in the other hand.
“You're not a real gardener until you've lost a few.”
Finding your ground
I do not just help you find a house. I help you find a home where you can grow. More than ten years in Central Florida real estate, and the mission has not changed: help families find their own piece of ground to cultivate.
Fun facts and superpowers
- Corporate project manager by day, Realtor by night, gardener and content creator in every spare minute in between.
- The mom math: four kids, a new meal cooked daily, and enough mom guilt to make sure family time always wins. That is why you see Jermaine and the kids in everything we do.
- Also happening: writing a few books at the same time. Sleep is on the waitlist.
- Garden strategy: I grow whatever the kids decide to attack and eat first.
