Garden Coach & Design Expert Sara Rubens Announces Strategic Partnerships with FlatIron Kitchen and

LAKE NORMAN, N.C. - May 23, 2025 - PRLog -- Sara Rubens, certified garden coach and founder of Seed to Sanctuary, is proud to announce new strategic partnerships with FlatIron Kitchen and Taphouse, Lexi's Clean Kitchen, and luxury residential design firm, Castelletto Homes. Rubens, recognized for her expertise in outdoor garden spaces and farm-to-table landscape design, continues to bridge the gap between sustainable gardening, local food, and intentional living through these exciting collaborations.

A frequent expert source for national publications such as Real Simple, Southern Living, The Spruce, and Martha Stewart Living, Rubens is known for helping homeowners and businesses create productive and beautiful garden environments that support clean eating, wellness, and everyday enjoyment.

"Gardening should be practical, personal, and rooted in the rhythms of daily life," said Sara Rubens. "These partnerships showcase how gardens can nourish both body and soul—whether at home, in the kitchen, or throughout the community."

FlatIron Kitchen and Taphouse, a locally loved farm-to-table restaurant based in Davidson, NC, has partnered with Rubens to design and maintain seasonal edible gardens. The on-site garden grows herbs and produce used in the restaurant's kitchen, creating a hyper-local, garden-to-plate experience for guests.

"We've always focused on sourcing the best local ingredients—now we're growing them with purpose," said Chef Bill Schultz of FlatIron Kitchen and Taphouse. "Working with Sara helps us deepen our connection to food and to the community."

Lexi's Clean Kitchen, the nationally recognized clean eating and lifestyle brand founded by Lexi Davidson, partnered with Rubens to build a customized edible garden at Davidson's home. The garden—filled with seasonal vegetables and herbs—now serves as an everyday resource for Lexi's recipes, photography, and digital content creation.

"Having a garden designed by Sara has completely transformed how I cook, shoot content, and live day to day," said Lexi Davidson. "I walk outside and grab fresh herbs and produce for my recipes—it's inspiring, practical, and beautiful. Our audience loves seeing that real connection to food, and Sara made it all possible."

Castelletto Homes, a North Carolina-based luxury residential design firm known for timeless, wellness-focused design, is working with Rubens to offer optional edible garden installations for its new residential builds. These tailored garden experiences will help homeowners create outdoor spaces that are as intentional and nourishing as the homes themselves.

"We believe that outdoor living is a central part of home life," said Sarah Pfeffer Owner and Director of Castelletto Homes. "Sara's vision gives our clients the chance to build something meaningful and lasting from the ground up."
