I’ve always dreamed of having a garden, a sprawling property with several exterior spaces and nests for resting or entertaining. I never dreamed this house would turn into that for us, but it has been the most amazing transformation to create and watch.

This little space is such a sanctuary for our family. We begin almost every single day walking through it, checking on the plants, showing Vivi anything that’s sprouted or bloomed, watering, weeding, playing with our pups. I was pretty sure I would love it, but I didn’t know how much.

Being our first timers I kept our flowers pretty simple this season. We had so much success with our zinnias and sunflowers and they make such vibrant bouquets.
