We had the good fortune of connecting with Cynthia Hill and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Cynthia, is your business focused on helping the community? If so, how?
Starting my Garden channel has helped me to be more self-stainable, and to teach others how to do the same.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Being a Content creator on my YouTube channel: CiCi’s Texas Garden has giving me the opportunity to learn and interact with Gardners and Farmers across the world. What sets my Garden apart from others would be the creative ways I solve issues. Example: When we had a cold snap just before Spring, I put up a tent in the garden to keep my plants safe. What I am most proud of would be successfully growing potatoes this year. I would not call myself a Professional, but I am learning to be the best at what I do. I also learned that if you plant something and it doesn’t grow, just drop more seeds. What I want the world to know about me is that whatever I grow I do it with Passion and Heart.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
We would definitely start Downtown and Visit Discovery Green Park, there are events happening all the time. We could also catch an Astros Game at Minute Made Park. We would have to get a bite to eat at Gus’s Fried Chicken off Washington Ave, their chicken is great, and their sides are the best. Katy Mills Mall would be next on the list to walk off all the food we ate. To finish our night would be at The Houston Improv for some laughs.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would say I got my Farming passion from my Great Grandfather Horace Edwards Sr. He Farmed land in Lousiana most of his life and even thought he passed away a few years before I was born. I grew up hearing the stories of the produce he planted & harvested.
