My name is Tiffany, and I’ve created this blog because I’ve found a passion for gardening and design. I’ve always known I had an interest in plants as they bring me happiness, but until we moved into our current home, I was able to realize my love of landscaping. It’s amazing how you can turn a blank slate into your own vision with quite a bit of dreaming, planning and a lot of hard work…
I started with little to no experience with landscaping, but enjoy learning from others and quite simply trial and error.
I work full time in IT as a sales operations support rep, and after a long day, you will find me back outside tending to my yard, if the weather is permitting.
We live in Minnesota so it’s either outside enjoying the warm days in the garden, or inside planning the garden for the seasons to come.
You may find that much of my content may revolve around cool season planting, so I may not have a lot of experience to share in the warmer climates. I should still be able to provide inspiration through my designs, so please continue to check out my projects or blog posts.
We have two pets, and you will likely see plenty of pictures that include our boy, Archie. He loves spending time outside with me, and finding his way into my pictures. It wouldn’t be nearly as fun playing in the dirt without him. 🙂 Our cat, Eva, however enjoys the indoors but will step out on occasion to soak up the sun (not as helpful around the garden, haha).
I look forward to learning more and sharing everything I do with you. So if you (like me) are starting off, looking at your yard wondering what’s next, you’re in the right place. I’ve slowly chipped away at sections, turning each of them into something we can truly enjoy.
We all want a garden but don’t have the budget to hire a professional landscaping company to make our dreams come true. I’d like to step in and show you that your garden dreams can come true with time and dedication.
Don’t get me wrong. Creating a garden is a lot of work, but the results are worth it! I honestly ask myself, why do I love this? How do i find all the bending, lifting, digging, 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.
I read so many comments from people that have work done but later find out the plant will outgrow the space or it’s not suited for your zone. People do make mistakes, unfortunately on your dime, but it happens. It’s not as bad when you personally made the goof since you will learn from it and grow your knowledge for what works for your situation.
The best part of gardening too, at least for me so far, is plants are resilient! I’m still learning, but if something isn’t working, 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 my successes (and I’m sure failures) so you can see first hand that an average person such as myself, is 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.
