Hi, I’m Terri — runner, plant-forward home cook, backyard garden tinkerer, and dog mom to Brie, a kale-snacking Goldendoodle who firmly believes spinach and apples were invented just for her. 🐾🥬🍎

And I wouldn’t have the garden I have today without my husband, Mike — who quietly builds the beds, hauls the soil, and supports every wild ideas and projects I come up (literally and figuratively). He’ll never ask to be mentioned, but he’s at the heart of this too. 💚

GrowStrides was created for people like us — those who love to move, to grow, and to fuel life with good food (even as we figure it out along the way).

🍃 A place for everyone

I know not everyone eats the same way, and that’s the beauty of this community. Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, plant-based, flexitarian, or simply plant-curious — GrowStrides is a space to explore what works for you with inspiration, balance, and zero judgment. 🌱

🌱 What’s coming:

🥕 Plant-forward meals from land & sea
🏃‍♀️ Running stories, race prep & life as a later-in-life runner
🌿 Garden experiments (including the “Come What May” bed…)
🐶 Brie cameos & veggie-powered dog life
🥗 A lifestyle built on progress, not perfection

The site is sprouting behind the scenes right now — like garlic tucked in for winter — and soon it will bloom. Until then, join me for a cup of coffee (virtually, of course), take a deep breath, take a walk and stay tuned!

Let’s grow together.
— Terri 🌿
