I'm Jamie D'Andrea, a soil-health educator based in Franklin, TN. I believe soil is the foundation of a thriving ecosystem, and that regenerating soil biology is one of the most powerful ways to create lasting health for people, communities, and the planet.
I'm a Master Composter certified through Denver Urban Gardens, with training in organic agriculture, permaculture, and soil health. I've led composting workshops at community gardens in partnership with Denver Urban Gardens and The Nashville Food Project. I'm also a certified Soil Food Web Lab Technician and am continuing on to the Consultant certification, which I expect to complete in 2027, to deepen my technical and analytical expertise in soil biology.
