My name is kate belle. My hubbie and I just bought our first house and it has a big yard (as far as city yards go). I have been dreaming about designing and growing my own garden for a very long time. I think this strong desire comes from my mother and a love for the outdoors and sun. One of my fondest memories from childhood is of my mom growing snap dragons in our rentals side lot and showing me how to make the heads “bite”. The yard was as important as the house when my parents finally bought their own place, and over the last 20 yrs my mother has grown a magnificent garden.

Now its my turn. The whole process is more challenging than I could have imagined, and I continue to bite off more than i can chew with each new project, but that’s my personality…all or nothing.

I have realized that connecting with a like minded community is an important next step to creating my own piece of heaven, Thanks for having me and I hope we can learn from each other.
