From Miami Roots to Central Florida Food Forests.

I’m Toni, a gardener, a mother of four, and a Polk County Realtor helping families plant roots that last.

Our Story: Growing a Legacy

Born and raised in sunny Florida, I brought that vibrant Miami tropical energy with me to Central Florida five years ago. My journey into serious gardening truly began when I met my husband, Jermaine. Together, we’re building a food forest—a place where our four beautiful babies can see exactly where their food comes from.

I come from a hardworking Haitian family, raised by a grandmother who taught me that the best meals are rooted in tradition and fresh ingredients. Today, I’m passing those "Grandma-approved" skills down to my kids, often with a baby on my hip and a garden trowel in hand.

"Gardening keeps me grounded, healthy, and just sane enough to keep it all going."

Real Estate: Finding Your Ground

I don’t just help you find a house; I help you find a home where you can grow. As a Realtor focusing on Polk County, my mission is to help families find their own slice of Florida to cultivate. Whether you’re looking for a backyard big enough for a garden or a kitchen ready for family traditions, I’m here to help you plant roots.

Fun Facts & Superpowers

• Superpower: Simultaneously filming a garden tour, seasoning a Haitian griot, and answering a work call while a toddler climbs my leg.
• The "Emergency Brake": I’m still learning to rollerblade on the Hollywood Boardwalk—I use the grass as my emergency brake. Progress, not perfection!
• Garden Strategy: I grow whatever the kids decide to attack and eat first.
• The Stats: Bowling average of 165 (on a good day).

Let’s Grow Together

I share my daily garden notes, "In the Know" blogs, and weekly recipes to show that anyone can grow real food anywhere.
