This is a stress-free gardening zone (seriously)
💜 We don’t break our backs with unnecessary gardening chores/maintenance. Instead, we create a plan and learn how to choose the RIGHT plants that will grow and thrive in our conditions.
💜 We use plants to solve landscape problems like lack of privacy, too much maintenance and even awkward layouts.
💜 We strive to create our own unique, beautiful garden that will add value to our home, show off our personality and suit our lifestyle.
💜 We believe that gardening should be a fun & relaxing creative outlet. If it’s not… why should we bother?
💜 While what we do in own gardens is our choice, we are conscious that our decisions DO affect the people, wildlife and environment around us.

So, I created my own unique DIY beginner landscaping system that easily combines gardening with design. It’s so much more fun than just plopping random plants in the ground and hoping for the best.
