Ready to break up with your lawn?

Sedges & Celery are Amy Yocum and Kristin Slava, two women who are passionate about creating gardens that improve the health of people and the environment. 

We recognize that there is a growing desire in our communities to connect with Nature by replacing lawns with gardens that feed people and support ecosystems. We know that there are lots of people who want to make these changes in their own yards but aren't sure how to make it happen. Sedges & Celery can help! 

Transitioning away from turf grass is often best done one bed at a time. Sedges and Celery will partner with you throughout the process from design to installation, including on-going maintenance. We will work with you to create practical solutions for your project. We have decades of experience with gardening in the upper Midwest, and we love learning. 

We find that time spent in Nature makes us feel good. That could mean cooking with fresh herbs from the garden, watching the seasonal succession of blooms in a meadow, or discovering something about bird and insect species that we didn't know before. 

Every yard is unique, and a day outside always teaches us something new.

Changing the world is possible. We’ve done it before.

Our leadership team bring years of experience to bear on the greatest challenge of our time. We’re results driven, with a proven record of previous successes.

Ready to take the next step?

This is a movement of billions. Whether you’re most comfortable contributing time to help achieve our advocacy goals, money to help us grow, or energy to put political pressure on our governments to change, we need you on our team.
