How to Design an Inviting Front Yard Garden

December 12, 2023 · By Adriana Copaceanu · Leave a Comment

The front yard is a passerby or visitor’s first impression of your home and you. It is also the first thing you see when you leave or return to your home.

A front yard garden should reflect the people who live in the house and make the space feel warm and inviting, offering a welcoming path to the front door. This will look different for each person: perhaps you envision a cottage garden, formal landscaping, or practical yet attractive vegetable beds.Read more ›

DIY Garden Signs from Grill Forks

March 21, 2018 · By Sarah Ramberg · 40 Comments

Ok- I will fully admit that this is a truly zany idea of mine! There I was at the thrift store, looking for inspiration on the shelves. I was going to move aside this grill fork when it dawned on me that the barbecue fork could BE the inspiration I was looking for. What if I transformed it as part of some DIY garden signs?

July 6, 2017 · By Sarah Ramberg · 81 Comments

Every Spring and Summer, my Pinterest and Facebook news feeds are filled to the brim with big, beautiful potting benches! Whether constructed from pallets or old doors, or even a genuine vintage potting table, they are stunning and, well, LARGE. But, here’s the thing- I’m a gardener on a very small scale. I simply don’t have the space or need for a potting bench that is normal size. So, I set forth to create something on a smaller scale: a portable potting bench!Read more ›

Herb Plant Stand from a Stand Up Shower Caddy

April 20, 2017 · By Sarah Ramberg · 44 Comments

I do a lot of cooking at home but I’m not a prolific gardener. I’m limited my own lack of gardening interest, but also by space. That being said, though, I do like to grow my own kitchen herbs in pots as much as possible. You may recall how I upcycled a muffin tin as a propagation tray for growing some herb plants from seed? Well, it’s time to transplant them and I’ll be upcycling a stand up shower caddy to create an herb plant stand!
