TODAY”S VIDEO: If you’ve ever looked at a garden online and thought, why doesn’t my garden look like that? — you’re not alone. In this first video of my Garden Design for Real Life series, I’m talking about how to design a garden that actually works for real life. Not perfect gardens, but gardens that fit your time, your climate, and the way you actually live. Garden design isn’t just about picking pretty plants. It starts with understanding your space, your lifestyle, and what’s realistic for you — and that’s what we’re focusing on here. In this series, we’ll be talking about: • how to prep your garden area • choosing the right plant for the right spot • common garden design mistakes (and how to fix them) • spacing and why it matters • choosing plants that look good together If this kind of practical garden design is helpful for you, I’d love for you to stick around. There are five more videos coming in this series, and each one builds on the last. If you don’t want to miss any of them, go ahead and subscribe and turn on notifications. I’d really love to have you along for the rest of Garden Design for Real Life.
