About the Gardener

Hi, I’m Victoria, the voice behind this garden landscaping blog. A few years ago, I bought my first home—a charming fixer-upper with a sprawling, overgrown lot that felt equal parts exciting and overwhelming. As a complete novice with no gardening experience, I dove headfirst into transforming that wild yard into a vibrant, functional outdoor space. What started as a daunting challenge turned into a passion for landscaping, design, and nurturing nature.

Through trial and error, countless hours of research, and a lot of dirt under my nails, I taught myself the art and science of gardening. From learning how to prune unruly shrubs to designing flower beds that bloom year-round, every step has been a lesson in patience and creativity. This blog is my way of sharing that journey—tips, mistakes, and all—with anyone looking to shape their own slice of green.

Whether you’re a beginner staring down an intimidating plot or a seasoned gardener seeking fresh ideas, I hope my experiences inspire you to dig in and create something beautiful. Thanks for joining me on this adventure!
