Garden & Home

Hi there! I'm super excited that you're here!


Welcome to my Garden & Home section. Well, OK, it's not just a "section", but a cozy "cabin" where you can dig into rooms of ideas, tips, and stories to make your garden and your home a little warmer and fuzzier.


Think of each room as a different raised bed or landscape you can explore, or hang out in for a while.


You're invited to:


Pop into Garden Bites for quick, handy tips.


Learn how Composting can turn kitchen scraps into rich soil.


Get your hands dirty with Seed Starting for a strong, healthy garden.


Discover the secret life of Bumblebees—your garden’s fuzziest and hardest workers.


Try something new from Recipes to bring your harvest—and health—to the table.


Catch up on Marion’s Weekly Garden Columns for fresh stories and unique perspectives from Kodiak Island, Alaska, and...


Do yourself a self-care favor by visiting Nurture Yourself, because you deserve to be happy...


Begin wherever you like. Be curious and follow your intuition. Each room has something you can take with you—into the garden, your home, or your day.


Blessings to you,
