Now THIS is what a successful second round of mustard greens looks like! 🙌🏾💚

Fresh, vibrant, chemical-free greens harvested straight from the garden right here in Indianapolis. The garden keeps producing, and we’re grateful for every harvest that helps feed our community and teach others the importance of growing their own food. 🌿

There’s healing in the soil, peace in the process, and purpose in every seed planted. From workshops to food access to fresh produce for families, Mae’s Paige Garden continues to grow with love. 💚

The onions are thriving over here at Mae’s Paige Garden! Some are already sending up beautiful blooms and seed heads, which means we’ll be able to save seeds and continue growing for future seasons. 💚

This section is mixed with:
🧅 onions
🍇 grapevine
🌼 flowers for pollinators
🌿 companion plants
🐝 pollinator-friendly greens and herbs

I love creating spaces that are not only productive but beautiful and sustainable too. Every area of the garden is slowly becoming a living ecosystem where food, flowers, pollinators, and community all work together.

The goal is to grow fresh food, save seeds, teach others, and continue building a self-sufficient community one garden bed at a time. 🌱

Honored to serve as a judge for the 3rd Annual Pitch Competition at Walker Career Center!

It was truly inspiring to hear students present their ideas, business concepts, and visions for the future. Events like these are so important because they help empower the next generation of entrepreneurs, leaders, and changemakers within our community.

As the founder of Can We Ryde Inc. and Mae’s Paige Garden, I understand the importance of mentorship, opportunity, creativity, and having people who believe in your vision. Being able to pour back into our youth and support their growth was an amazing experience.

Thank you to Walker Career Center for the opportunity to be part of such a powerful event and for continuing to invest in students, innovation, and entrepreneurship.

The future is bright!

Walker Career Center officially kicked off this year’s High School to the Pros Pitch Competition, and the students showed up ready. From creative business ideas to confident presentations, students had the opportunity to pitch concepts and ideas that they’ve been building throughout the semester...

🍓 Fresh strawberries straight from the garden! There’s nothing like walking outside and picking your own food with your own hands.

At Mae’s Paige Garden, we believe growing your own food is more than gardening — it’s health, healing, self-sufficiency, and teaching the next generation where real food comes from. ❤️🌱

Did you know strawberries are packed with:
🍓 Vitamin C to help support your immune system
🍓 Antioxidants that help fight inflammation
🍓 Fiber for gut health
🍓 Natural sweetness without all the added sugars

And honestly… they just taste better fresh out the garden. ☀️

We’re excited for strawberry season and thankful to continue growing fresh food for our community here on the east side of Indianapolis.

🍓 One thing about me… I LOVE strawberries! 🍓❤️

There’s something special about walking through your own garden and seeing fresh strawberries growing right in front of you. Watching them go from flowers to fresh fruit reminds me why growing your own food is so important. 🌱

Fresh garden strawberries are not only delicious, but they also have amazing health benefits:
🍓 Rich in Vitamin C
🍓 Supports heart health
🍓 Packed with antioxidants
🍓 Helps support healthy skin
🍓 Good source of fiber
🍓 Fresh-picked fruit tastes better and contains more nutrients than fruit sitting in stores for days

Being able to step outside and pick fresh fruit from your own garden is a blessing and a form of self-sufficiency that I believe more families should experience. ❤️

Mae’s Paige Garden continues growing fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers for our community here on the east side of Indianapolis, and we’re thankful for everyone supporting this journey. 🌻
