About Pretty Purple Door

👋 Hi, I’m Amy Fedele, Founder of Pretty Purple Door.

I’ve been helping homeowners design landscapes that are “uniquely you” since 2014. I have a diploma in Garden Design and Maintenance. And, I garden in Northeast Pennsylvania, USDA Zone 7A.

I’ve been an animal lover and a painter my whole life, a professional graphic designer since 2005. And, obviously, I love to garden and design landscapes.

When I first started gardening, I didn’t know what to plant, where to put it or how to make it all work together. 

I’d read something… feel confident… plant everything…

Then learn something new that made me second guess the whole plan. 

So I’d dig things up, move them… and start over. 

It was frustrating, expensive… and way harder than it needed to be.

What finally changed everything for me was design.

It didn’t take long for me to realize that all the tricks I used in my graphic design work could also be used in my garden. That’s why I created a unique garden design framework that combines gardening with design and makes it easier for homeowners to understand what actually works. It’s a lot more fun than just plopping random plants in the ground and hoping for the best.

I’ve written many articles about gardening, and my work has been featured by names like The Family Handyman, BuzzFeed and Country Living. I also teach online garden design courses and have published eBooks and worksheets to help you design your dream garden.

If you want more, check out YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok for even more garden design tips and inspiration.

My gardening story

This is how I went from not knowing what I was doing to teaching others garden design and 4-season gardening. Watch the video to see how I got here.
