These gardens started as a wedding gift.

When I first met, Liz was recovering from a broken leg and spending most of her time in a wheel chair. She had a vision for her home, but the gardens were still young and needed time to grow in.

I’ll be honest, I had no idea what a powerhouse she was.

Last year it was mostly me doing the heavy lifting while she healed. This year has been a whole different story.

She’s learned design. She’s cut sod. Dug grubs. Installed edging. Moved what feels like endless yards of stone, soil, and mulch. She’s planted, divided, transplanted, and built split rail fences. She’s put in the work.

What you’re looking at didn’t happen in a weekend, it took seasons. It took mistakes, changes, moving plants, waiting for things to fill in, and learning what works and what doesn’t. That’s how good gardens are built.

Getting to help guide, build and watch her vision come to life has been one of the coolest parts of my job. Every year these gardens look a little different, a little fuller, and a little more like what she imagined from the start.

The gardens are beautiful.

But watching Liz grow into the gardener who built them has been even better. 🌱❤️

A bit of a tidy up to get everything back on track.

It’s always a good day when it’s spent in a garden.

I literally said this to a girlfriend the other day and was like… I can’t be the only one who’s like this, right?! 😂

Every spring I go on a serious mission to find new perennials and trees to add to my yard. I have one rule: if it grows in my zone, I need it. 🌱

If you’ve been spending years buying annuals over and over again, consider switching to perennials. Every year you can keep building your gardens bigger and better instead of starting from scratch each season :)

And if not for the money savings… do it for the pollinators 🐝🦋
