Our gardens, homes and hobbies don't have to be perfect. They just have to be good enough for me - and yours just has to be good enough for you! Join me as I garden in Zone 5a (formerly 4b) in Southeastern Minnesota.

Our lot is only about 1/10 of an acre. I try to make the most of a small space and prioritize native perennials and gardening for not only myself but the creatures with whom I share the garden. Aside from native plants, I love growing tomatoes, hostas, dahlias and building patio ponds. I love to plan but rarely follow through - so if you like haphazard chaotic gardening with no pressure to make things perfect, you're in the right place!
