hello there!
Nice to meet you!
I'm Dolly, an avid gardener with over 10 years of experience and a passionate plant enthusiast.
If I'm not in the garden, you can find me photographing food (that's my other job), reading books (about gardening, of course), painting, playing guitar, or cooking.
Oh, and just so you know...
This is a 100% A.I. free zone. All articles are written by a real human person (me!) - but I do love me an em dash, so you'll see lots of those.
What You'll Find Here
As a busy self-employed woman who also happens to be a Mom, I'm obsessed with finding the *best* and most efficient ways to do just about everything. I even have a sock method for keeping the laundry flowing smoothly - so you better believe I bring that same energy to the garden!
Here's some of what you'll find:
- Gardening tips: Everything from simple tricks to detailed step-by-step guides; it's my goal to help you become a more capable and confident grower.
- Growing guides: If you're anything like me, you want to know *everything* before you put that seed in the ground.
- A/B Testing and real results from my home garden: The entire reason I started this website! I apply my detail-obsessed recipe-developing skills to the garden, so I can share with you what actually works.
