Jessica Chilous
Garden Education Facilitator
Ivanetta H. Davis Early Learning Center
Jessica, a Memphis-born, Nashville-bred mother of six, discovered her passion for gardening and nature-based learning through over a decade of homeschooling her children. Inspired by her father’s love of gardening, she has spent years cultivating home gardens with her family, using them as a way to teach life lessons and support others in starting their own gardening journeys.
Jessica brings a heartfelt dedication to helping children connect with nature, recognize its healing properties, and enjoy the benefits of fresh, homegrown produce. Her enthusiasm for hands-on education and fostering a deeper awareness of the natural world shines through in everything she does.
