Tyler has always been around plants. It started with some indoor gardening here and there but grew into a real thing once became fascinated by how plants and fungi work together – especially indoors, where everything’s a bit more controlled. He’s got a microbiology background, so he’s used to digging into the science behind why plants get sick or struggle. For over ten years, he’s helped people deal with issues like root rot or strange fungal spots that just don’t make sense at first. After spinal injuries and brain surgery, Tyler’s approach to gardening changed. It became less about the hobby and more about recovery and adapting to physical limits. Despite challenges, he keeps growing plants and now shares practical advice with home and indoor gardeners nationwide. He proves you don’t need to be perfect to grow something meaningful. It is a reminder that no matter what, you can overcome anything that you can put your mind to. No matter what, your garden can thrive with perseverance.
