1. Find the right spot. Growth and success can be fun and easy if you’re in the right place.

If you have not had much luck with gardening, please try planting Zinnia seeds, the results will make you feel like you have superpowers.

I decided to play with another landscape design and I tossed in a little front porch fun too!

I was recently asked to help design a front yard. I went over and met with Eddy. Pedar and I measured her yard and spoke to her about her budget and vision. We talked about what she likes (color) and what she needs (easy, not a lot of maintenance/trimming).

This is the front yard of our first home. We bought it in 2002 and sold it in 2013. I learned how to garden and design a yard in this home.

I absolutely love WallyGro Eco planters. I have the best luck with them. My plants are doing so great and I love that they are made out of recycled plastic.

I decided a couple of weeks ago that I was done potting plants on the lawn, I wanted a darn potting table and that was that!

We planted around the shed-turned-into-an-office on February 21st.

39 plants call this spot home. This flower bed is 7 feet wide by 15 feet long.

I asked my super hunky hubby to build me window boxes for the office/shed. The boys had a few spare skateboard decks laying around so I asked for a sk8ter twist for it too!

We named our garden after our dear friend Lou. He died over five years ago. He had the most gorgeous garden and was so proud of it! He was so incredibly generous. We hope to embody the spirit of Lou. I want to always welcome friends over with open arms.

On March 29th we started working on our dream garden.
