Hello and thank you for visiting!
About The Author
Hi there! I’m Tiffany, the author of Love TiffanyAnn, and I’m excited to share my love for gardening and landscape design with you. What started as a personal journey to transform my own outdoor space has grown into a passion for creating beautiful, functional gardens. Through this blog, I will be focusing on designing gardens using plants that can withstand colder climates, since my hardiness zone is a 4 here in Minnesota. I hope what I share in my personal experiences will provide you with enough inspiration and knowledge to create your own dream garden—whether you’re still a beginner or a seasoned gardener . Thanks again for visiting my site and I hope when you leave it means you can’t wait to begin planning your own garden project!
The Purpose Behind This Blog.
We all want a beautiful garden to enjoy in our own yard, but most of us struggle with where to begin and what all goes into creating one. I’d like to step in and help show you that your garden dreams can come true by sharing my own personal lessons learned, and how important planning can be in your design process.
Creating a garden is a lot of work! However the results are worth it, trust me. I honestly ask myself, why do I love this? How do I find all the bending, lifting, digging, and sweating to be something I enjoy doing and want to continue doing? …Because of the reward that comes with it!
How often can you step outside your home and simply marvel over the accomplishment that YOU created? It’s the best feeling! Another valuable part of being involved in your own garden plan from the start is knowing what’s going into it.
Of course you can simply hire a landscaping company to do the work for you based on an approved design layout they may have provided, and allow them to do the work from beginning to end, which for many people is worth it – however you will lose site of what’s going into the plan. You will learn so much more when you get your hands dirty, and get a feel for what it takes to plant those shrubs or add that mulch and edging, unless you choose to maintain a natural edged border. It will allow you to gain much more knowledge into how to maintain your garden after it’s been planted as well.
Another part I have learned through my own trial and error, is that plants are resilient! At least they have been for me so far… I’m still learning as I go, but if something isn’t working I will simply move it somewhere else it can thrive. It’s not an end all sort of thing. You can mess up and have a do over in most cases, as long as you are paying attention.
My goal for having this website is to share these successes and failures with you, so you can see first hand that an average person such as myself or even yourself can be capable of so much more than we give ourselves credit for. I hope you leave this site inspired, as well as determined to move ahead with your own desires to achieve the garden of your dreams!
And please, continue to follow me since I plan to share all of my future projects as I come up with them. I’m a continuous dreamer, so to be continued for now...
