About Sow & Center

Where peace of mind and purpose begin with your hands in the soil.

A Garden for Your Wellness

At Sow & Center, we believe that wellness doesn’t require a retreat — it begins right outside your door. We help busy professionals prevent stress-related illness by reconnecting them with nature through food gardening and meditation.

Founded in Prince George’s County, Maryland, Sow & Center brings together the healing benefits of growing your own food and the calming effects of breathwork and mindfulness. Our mission is to guide you in creating a life that is grounded, nourishing, and deeply restorative.

Meet Rashonda Ward

I'm Rashonda — a CPA by profession, a certified meditation teacher by passion, and a lifelong learner of what it means to truly feel well.

After years of balancing high-stress professional work and personal commitments, I found peace and clarity in my own backyard garden. I learned that planting seeds — literal and spiritual — was my way of healing. Sow & Center was born from this realization: that growing food and stillness could help others reclaim their peace, too.

With a background in business, wellness, and community advocacy, I bring a holistic, practical approach to helping people like you grow calm, resilience, and food — from the ground up.

Rooted in What Matters

Simplicity

Wellness should be accessible and manageable. We keep things simple and meaningful.

Sustainability

We believe in nourishing practices that care for both people and the planet.

Stillness

Quiet moments lead to deep healing. We honor and cultivate space for rest and reflection.

  • Unlike traditional garden coaches or wellness instructors, we combine the power of edible gardening with guided meditation to help you manage stress naturally. You won’t just grow food — you’ll grow peace of mind, presence, and purpose.

    We don’t install landscaping. We cultivate life-changing experiences that begin with a single seed.

Let’s Grow Something Beautiful…Together

Whether you’re starting your first food garden or seeking deeper calm, Sow & Center will meet you where you are.
