The Svendsen Garden with Brenda

 

My husband built our contemporary home in 1981 and we have enjoyed planting our garden with perennials that bring interest to each season. We bought and planted over 25 potted trees that we used in our home for Christmas trees and then planted them over our backyard hill after each Christmas. We love our 3 wind sculptures by Lyman Whitaker and enjoy the beauty they add to our yard. Last Spring we added 2 Xeriscape areas to our garden – replacing a lawn area and a planted perennial area. We have enjoyed the grasses and succulents in those new areas.

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.
