About

When we bought our home, we had a lawn. Grass with a couple small trees. We began to create a garden, the first either of us could call our own. First the soil was tilled, covered and mulched. Some trees were removed and reused to feed the new environment we were cultivating. Inspiration came from the forests and parks around us. A desire to make our home more than a home for us steered our ambition.

As of 2026 our garden is between two and four seasons old. We've welcomed our dog Savannah into our lives and garden. Neighborhood cats have come, gone or stayed. Bramble rats were scared off by seasonal raptors. Skunks, raccoons and squirrels visit our pond on the regular.

Plums have failed and then exploded. Ivy and blackberry continue to encroach from the borders, the later requiring a blood sacrifice to be held back. Abundant harvests of garlic, potatoes and tomatoes became staples. A young orchard is beginning to share fruit with us, the birds and critters.

We created this space to be shared, to feed and nourish, to shelter, to radiate beauty. It is why this site exists, to share our tiny, green space with a bigger world. And maybe, just, plant seeds of inspiration in another who will grow their own garden one day.
