How it All Began

Hey, I’m Michele.

My backyard garden is my favorite place. I love stepping outside, feeling the dirt under my nails, and watching the garden wake up each morning (or figuring out what the kids forgot to water 😅).

Gardening Inspired started because of that joy, because gardening for me isn’t just about growing vegetables or flowers.

It’s about slowing down, breathing fresh air, and enjoying those small moments that make life feel sweeter.

GARDENING INSPIRED:
WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT

This space is where I share the ups, downs, and everyday joy of gardening.

When we bought our greenhouse, I had no idea how much I’d learn about patience, about trial and error, and about how much fun it is to experiment with growing things year-round.

Some days it’s thriving flowers, other days it’s figuring out why my tomatoes look sad, or why I have more weeds growing than plants. And that’s the beauty of it.

Here at Gardening Inspired, you’ll find:

  • Step-by-step tips that actually help you grow (without needing a farm degree)
  • Stories from my own backyard—what worked, what didn’t, and what I’d do differently
  • Recipes that bring your garden right to the table
  • Little lessons on mulch, soil, watering, and all the basics that really matter

For me, gardening isn’t about having a picture-perfect yard. It’s about experimenting, starting fresh when something doesn’t work, and finding joy in the process.

So grab your gloves, peek into the greenhouse, and let’s keep learning and growing together. 🌱
