About Me
- Erin
- Iowa, United States
- I'm part hobbit, part Jedi, and a lacto-ovo vegetarian.
I grew up in rural Illinois living a typical farm-kid life — exploring, raising animals and helping my mom around the house and in the garden. When I went to college for landscape architecture, a venture fueled by my love of art and the outdoors, I found I missed certain parts of the country lifestyle.
While in school I first lived in a dorm and then in a basement apartment with my husband. My studies included plants and designing gardens, but my gardening was limited to a few houseplants.
Our post-college, grown-up-a-bit-more apartment gave us a little room to stretch and enjoy the sunshine. My garden started from an innate desire to create, be independent, and take a step toward sustainability.
Today, my garden helps feed my husband and I, gives me a sense of personal accomplishment and provides me with the kind of “green” therapy that I used to take for granted. I hope my garden will inspire others who wish to garden, but don’t think they can because they don’t have a yard or traditional garden space. In some ways it’s easier, in others it’s harder, and it’s all worth it.

Hey Erin,
ReplyDeleteI just posted a comment on a fellow garden blogger's Bloggiversary post. It made me remember that you were what inspired me to grow in my apartment and blog about it. Just wanted to thank you again for being an inspiration!

With all of the different varieties and colours available I still think these darker, golden daffs are the prettiest. Nice shots.
ReplyDeleteKenneth — Wow, I'm so flattered, I don't know what to say!
ReplyDeletegardener — I like them too. :) I wish they lasted more than 4-5 days.
