About Me

Dominic Winfield

Dominic Winfield
I’ve always had a soft spot for the quiet magic of a thriving garden—whether it’s the first green shoots of spring or the golden glow of tomatoes in late summer. My childhood was spent chasing fireflies in my grandma’s backyard in Ohio, where she grew everything from heirloom beans to sunflowers taller than me.
