The Andersen Garden – 2023

 

The Andersens built their home in 2015 and had a blank slate for the yard.  The first spring they put in the front yard and every year after that worked on a different section of the backyard adding fun elements like a par terre cottage garden, 13’ tall swing set made from steel I-beams, forest hammock area, greenhouse (where Jessica started 1500 plants this spring) and a raised bed garden.  Last fall she built a modern concrete fountain spilling into mountain streams with a fairy garden in the center.  Their yard is a place of peace and refuge overflowing with beautiful plants and flowers.

- Garden Enthusiast

Hi there! I’m Cindy Wyckoff —founder of the Perennial Garden Club, Master Gardener and longtime lover of dirt-under-the-fingernails gardening. I believe in low-stress, high-reward gardening that brings joy back season after season. 

I recently achieved my dream of being able to live a slower, sweeter rhythm in a small rural community. This blog is a way to share my love for gardening—because there’s just something magical about purposeful planting and enjoying the beauty of nature.

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned gardener, I hope you find inspiration, encouragement, and a friendly nudge to get outside and grow something wonderful.
