This is a stress-free gardening zone (seriously)
We don't break our backs with unnecessary gardening chores.
Instead, we create a plan and choose low-maintenance plants so we don’t need to fight to “make it work.”
We don't buy exotic plants that can't grow in our garden.
We don’t set ourselves up for failure and only pick plants that will grow and thrive in our conditions.
We believe that gardening is good for the soul.
Gardening should be fun, relaxing and creative. If it’s not… why should we bother?
Combining Gardening with Design
I am a professional graphic designer and a garden lover. It didn’t take long for me to realize that all the design tricks I use at my job could also be used in my garden! 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.
