About
Thank you for visiting my website
If you found yourself browsing www.oakdaleoasis.com, we probably have something in common! Hi, I'm Abby Rose, and I publish this site for fun. I use this site to track notes about my gardening, share seeds, and... publish whatever I want to.
I am based in Traverse City, MI (usa) so you may find my content especially relevant if you are from here too. If you would like to compliment me or inquire about a colaboration, you can send an Instagram message to @abby_rose_grows.
This website is named after my city lot. Early in my property-ownership, I rented space in my home to help fund updates and repairs. To do this, I had to "brand" my space, and came up with the name Oakdale Oasis. It is quite fitting of a name, as my lot is an oasis within an average semi-urban residential area' there is always something blooming here!
Education & Experience
I'm excited to share with you th wonderful places that have helped shaped me into the person I am today.
Northland College
I earned my Bachelors of Science with a consentration in Volunteerism and Community Organizing from Northland College in the late aughts. The education I experienced at Northland has served me well. Throughout my college education, I was able to participate in student governance, spend a semester at a full time off-campus internship, and travel with classmates to protests, volunteer opportunties, and conferences. The variety of experiences availalbe helped prepare me for success.
