Choosing Joy

Choosing Joy with Rachael Carter: Garen-to-Table & the JOY in raised beds

• Jodi Lynn Turpin • Season 1 • Episode 25

Ohhh friends, this one’s blooming with goodness! 🌿 In this joyful, laughter-filled conversation, I sit down with the incredible Rachael Carter of Flora Culture Gardens—right here in the Metro Detroit area. Rachel is a mama, garden goddess, and heart-led entrepreneur who’s bringing beauty, nourishment, and magic to backyards and communities alike.

At the root of her work is a powerful garden-to-table mission—helping folks grow fresh, nourishing food right outside their doors. Whether she’s building custom setups, offering full-service garden maintenance, composting wisdom, or heartfelt coaching, Rachel is all about reconnecting people with the earth, their food, and their joy.

We dig into (pun totally intended) how Flora Culture Gardens came to life, her journey before this path, and why she believes tending to a garden can transform not just your meals—but your whole spirit. 🌱

If you’ve ever dreamed of growing your own herbs, tomatoes, or just want to feel more grounded and inspired—it’s all here. This is a celebration of garden-to-table living, joyful growth, and trusting the seasons of your life.
