Roxanne Kapitan is a regenerative backyard garden goddess in “that carpe diem phase of life.” She is landscape manager at Oakleaf Landscape, where she has worked with clients for the past 10 years to help them love their yards. Roxanne lived for many years in Vineyard Haven before moving to her Oak Bluffs property. She bought her Tisbury home while she worked for 19 years as a science education specialist for the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI). Though her regional office was in Andover, she oversaw a region including New England, New York, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. Roxanne grew up in the Bronx, and says, “My grandmother and my father, on the Greek side of my family, were very into gardening. My grandmother had a hunting lodge in upstate New York where we’d go for a week in the summer. I remember she had this enormous vegetable garden.” After they moved from the Bronx when Roxanne was in grade school, she remembers having “gardening chores in Northport,” on Long Island.
During high school she had a vegetable garden, and participated in a community garden. After high school followed a period of trying out “a lot of communes and spiritual communities, and I really started getting into the earth.” She graduated from Cornell with a degree in nutrition, and moved with some girlfriends to Boston and “stumbled into [her OERI] job.
