Introducing the DIY Nature YouTube Channel!

"Is the camera on? Which lens do I look into? Can they hear me? Don’t look at me like that, I’m new to the whole YouTube thing."

Welcome to my world!

That’s exactly how I’m feeling as I step into YouTube, excited but definitely a bit clumsy. But hey, if you’re going to dig into eco-friendly gardening, you’re bound to get a little dirt on your hands, right?

Hey there, I’m Amanda, a naturalist and certified Chesapeake Bay Landscape Professional. I’m also the owner and founder of DIY Nature, where I teach folks the art of planning and nurturing sustainable gardens with native plants. And let me tell you, it's more fun than a barrel of composting worms!
