Cultivating GOOD FAITH.

Michelle Nussbaumer, a Dallas-based interior designer and gardener, discovered a dilapidated hacienda in San Miguel de Allende that dated back to the 1600s and 1700s. She made a handshake deal with the rightful owner and named the property Buena Fe. Nussbaumer spent two months clearing the trash and began envisioning a garden filled with agave, cacti, and various flowers and vegetables.
