Our garden was planted in 2010 (and was much smaller then!). My son named the garden in 2012. The plan was to plant tall plants on the outside so he could "spy" out of it! The name has been quite apt as we are always "spying" interesting blooms, plants and animals... » more

Update: We just moved into a new farmhouse.  I'm hoping to make it a grand scale garden escape with fruit trees, vineyards, berry patches and flowers!  Can't wait to play in my garden for the next 20 years!I started...

About 6 years ago, we started on a journey to sustainability within the confines of our own urban 1/4 acre. Hence the dawning of The Yarden where we practice urban yardening. Each growing season we are adding, changing,...

Our old farmhouse sits on an acre and a half of gardens with an old barn as its background. The house has many window boxes with a variety of flowers. There is a large pond with a waterfall designed by my husband. The...

My vegetable garden is getting a makeover this year!  Not only will I be growing more heirlooms, but the area where they will be growing will have a Bohemian flair.....colorful, artsy, fun, and perhaps a bit of the...

From herbs and flowers to way too many watermelons and tomatoes!

I lived in Illinois my whole life until moving to Cheyenne in late 2011. I love to grow plants and try new things. Because of the climate and because I'm a renter, I will be doing mostly container plants this year....

We started this garden in 2010 and could not believe the harvest!!!  We expanded in 2011 and now we are exhausted because the harvest was so much more.  We are completely organic and feel that this is so helpful for...

My garden is a tiny plot in the middle of suburbia, filled with a lovely array of heirloom veggies.  I love heirlooms, and am committed to sharing their beauty, superb taste, and rich history.

I try to grow all the vegetables and fruits our small family needs in this little garden.

Growing up I always provided a little garden space from my mom for me to grow things. As years have gone by and now I'm married, we have survived many times living off our garden. Someday I would love to own my own...

When I moved here there was a small organic garden but most of the topsoil was washed away by gold mining and logging. I'm creating a food forest and learning permaculture practices. There is more life here now but...

I grow vegetables and herbs in four raised beds.  I also have a bed, dug by my wonderful boyfriend, in which I'm trying a Three Sisters garden.  I'm adding tomatoes in containers this year.  The bulk of my vegetables...

My 30'x70' piece of paradise.  Nothing makes me happier than to work in my garden and get lots of dirt under my fingernails.  I spend almost every day in the cold Ohio winters dreaming of how I will plant my garden,...

An organic garden that provides interest for all seasons and entices every sense.

Enclosed by a row of arborvitae the Secret Garden is a private space that features a changing display of color and texture. Plants are selected for a long season of bloom in shades of mostly pinks, lavenders, and rose....

I have 5 8x4 raised beds. I also have 3 in grounds beds and 8 blueberry bushes. I aim to plant only heirloom seeds. I also live on a corner lot in the city so I don't have too much space. I recently built a greenhouse...

Moving  to Kentucky Spring of 2013 (Yay-tis a zone warmer!!)   High hopes that my Tornado Ally garden grows happy in it's new home.   Kentucky allows Chickens-Whoot Whoot!!

A Grow It Forward heirloom garden

We are a young family attempting to grow our food. It hasn't been easy, but has been rewarding to say the least. Last year was our first successful garden and this year we are expanding. We decided to move to a new...

A community garden veggie patch, at the hands of an inexperienced city dweller! 

Hi! I'm the Stone Cottage Farm Garden 2012! I was brand new two years ago when Farmer Dave and Farmer Christina broke new ground in what used to be the back farm yard. I'm hoping this year, now that they got their 2011...

We have an average sized suburban lot which is mostly dedicated to the antics of our three busy boys.  The 15' x 25' area behind the garage was pretty worthless lawn, though, so I spent last year converting it into...

II remember gardening as a child with my grandparents. As I go older I wanted to have a small garden of my own to grow different vegetables and enjoy the outdoors. I have 100Sq/ft garden that I try and grow anything...

I redesigned my vegetable garden last year at Franklin Park Community Garden with the Vegetable Garden Planner on Mother Earth News. I am implementing the full plan this season and it will be a lot easier to tend and...

I love trying new varieties & since I'm relatively "new" to gardening that is easy.  It is also easy to learn from your mistakes.  I named the garden after 2 of my kitties (my other passion) because they love...

This is my 4th year of gardening commercially. I use natural pest controls and organic fertilizer in my raised beds. This year I am trying out the Mittleider method of gardening in some of my beds. The production is...

We're trying to grow as much of our own food as we can. It's year 1 on this property. After an almost rainless winter, our small continuous harvest feels gratifying. But it's only the tip of the iceberg.

My garden is on a SW facing slope and quite a challenge.  Sometimes I feel being part billy goat would help getting up and down the garden.  We have stairs and a path planned, but until then, I take it one step at...

Our large organic gardens contain over 100 varieties of fruits and vegetables, most of which are heirlooms. We freeze, water bath can, pressure can, dry, and ferment to preserve food, and use the root cellar, cool storage,...

We are going into our third season this year. Last year we had a good harvest but this year should be much better. We spent the first year trying to loosen the hard clay soil with a plow, peat, compost, leaves, straw,...

My garden is always evolving and this year I am almost starting from scratch. When we sold our old house I split some of my perrenials and took them with me. As our new house was not ready until this year, I planted...

I inherited my love of gardening from my father, who plopped me down in the dirt next to him as soon as I was old enough to sit up.  This particular Dirt Mama's Garden has been evolving since 2003 when we bought this...

The success of our gardening has been great, with some disappointments due to the learning curve. We are learning what we can do when we have 4 months of temperatures over 100 and no rain. Our soil is all sand! We...

We bought a house six years ago in the suburbs of San Antonio Texas.  We don't have alot of space so I had my husband build me a garden box right outside of the back door.  Since then, he's built me another garden...

 I have been gardening in the vegetable garden since I was a small child.In fact,  I actually got a wheel barrow for my 8th birthday. I was taught a lot  by my neighbor "Auntie" and  grew to love  gardening with...

I am currently interested in container veggie gardening, fruit trees, creating a tea & herb garden, and maintaining my daughters flower cutting garden.  Everything else is just an experiment.

We grow,can or freeze 90% of all the vegetables we eat. I've decided to start saving our own seeds so this year we will plant as many heirloom varieties as we can.Breaking News:Facebook you've been replaced!

My garden began with one raised bed.  I grew up in Ohio where you could pretty much stick a plant in the ground and it would grow.   I now live in Texas where the "soil"  is not soil.   Its clay.  I think they...

My garden is 10 foot by 19 foot and has flax, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, squash, gourds, borage, onions and lettuce.  

I have several patches of backyard garden that have expanded over nearly 10 seasons that we have lived here. I tend to grow organic and heirloom varieties aof vegetables and flowers, including antique roses.

For all those who don't like “fancy smancy alterated” photographs,'Quite Contrary' is the garden to view. This garden has the original photos that have only been cropped and the lighting adjusted (a couple paintshopped...

This is a slideshow of places to sit and enjoy everybody's gardens on the YGS website !

I read an article by Rosalind Creasy in an issue of a Mother Earth News magazine describing her edible landscape garden in California. Because we recently removed 6-40 ft. spruce trees on the south side of the house...

I bought my first home in January of this year.  I am so excited to grow all the things I was limited to in pots. I have had 4 raised beds built and am trying my hand at really growing for the first time without so...

This year 2012 will be the third season of my organically grown 20'x25' fenced kitchen garden.  My garden grows primarily in raised beds and along vertical trellising, all surrounded with a diverse herb border. ...

This is my first time planting anything.  I'm not known for having a green thumb, so I'm starting out small.  Hopefully, if I get the hang of it, I can have a bigger garden next year.

In the early spring the daffodils and tulips start to poke out of the ground...the 2 lilac bushes begin their blooms soon after. During mid-May, I begin to add veggie, herb, and annual plantings. Also, my parents bring...

We've been fussing about what Fruits, Herbs, Flowers, Vegetables, and Trees to grow in our organic urban garden for years now. [All of which are important parts of our garden] Once the snow melts we implement our not...

My garden is dedicated to my daughter Nola. It's purpose it to supply our little family with good food, to perpetuate an interest in gardening for her early on in life, and to provide balance in our lives.

My garden and backyard here in upstate New York

A community garden plot filled with mostly heirloom veggies. I'm taking a risk and planting everything from seed.  Hopefully I'll get some decent crops and have surplus for canning. 

A yard full of happiness.

I have blueberries, blackberries, figs, loquats, apples, pears, pomegranates, asparagus, horseradish, vegetables, herbs, ornamentals.... and always trying something new.

There are two main areas, one is established and the place most of our food is grown, the other is a new place to experiment with and learn about breaking new ground.  We call them the 'fenced garden' and the 'west...

Our garden is a true extension of our desire to grow healthy food for our family and friends without the use of chemicals. And this year, NO GMO's! Wahoo!!!!

It's getting bigger. Presently we have three raised beds in backyard and sideyard , and another raised bed in frond lawn area. I have started using potted spaces for growing vegetable as well. This past fall I built...

i haven't had the opportunity to grow my own garden, yet. instead i have a great appreciation for other people's work in the dirt. i also really like photography so its a nice mix betwixed us.

As well as being the graphic designer here on Your Garden Show, I am also a bit of a fact collector. This garden is dedicated to the facts I find around the internet that I want to share with you fine folks. Enjoy!

This is our farm. We bought it in June of 2005 and immediately started to work on it. This year (2012) I renamed Le Corone to Lisaland. Please visit there to see our garden this year. Happy Gardening!

My garden is my art, literally. I grow plants so I can photograph them in new and interesting ways. There is such a variety of plants in the San Francisco Bay Area and I pluck not only from my yard, but along the trail...

I have many diverse gardens at my home landscape as well as a community garden plot where I grow vegetables.

I grow food to feed my family and teach my kids. We preserve as much as we are able for the winter months when average grocery store veggies taste like card board.

These photographs were taken during a trip to Scandinavia last fall. They were found in Norway, Finland and Sweden.

A garden in a very windy place, near the sea in south-west Norway. Lots of perennials, not very well planned, some would probably say chaotic.

First of all, this is not MY garden... This is a great collective project, pushed forward by young hearts, hands and minds,  that is still being shaped, since this is its second year. Most importantly, it is a laboratory, ...

On our farm we have taken 1 acre of virgin land around the house for personal gardens. Trees, shrubs and mostly hardy perennials. Daylilies galore! 

This is the continuation of the Le Corone garden here on YourGardenShow, renamed in Lisa's honor. We want to carry on her legacy of great gardening practices and it's going to take a few of us to do it. The team here...

I have been playing in the dirt for as long as I canremember.  My first experience was aMcDonald Happy Meal (see they aren’t all bad) that included marigold seeds anda bucket to grow it in.  We also had aplay...

An evolving ornamental garden of perennials and bulbs in a formerly all-grass traffic circle at the intersection of two quiet residential streets. Maintained by volunteers, mulch and compost provided by the city, weeding...

Built from recycled barn wood and material found on the property.  

Have been playing in the "dirt" and planting stuff since I was about 5...I am now 53. Nothing makes me happier than cooking with fresh herbs and veggies from my kitchen garden or bringing in a bouquet from my cutting...

I came to St. Croix anticipating food shortages and global social unrest. Two years later, that is all coming true! Under the tutelage of a 72-year-old Puerto Rican farmer, I have learned to grow most of my vegetables...

My gardens began in earnest in 1990. I began tearing up the backyard and over the years it has undergone many transformations, including a major renovation in the summer of 2011. I then began tearing up the front lawn...

We moved here to 3.5 acres in 2008.  Now we are attempting to fill it with both edible and ornamental gardens.  We keep adding to both the hardscape and the soft as money, time and physical issues allow.

I love to garden.  Besides gardening, I love to attend garden shows. go on garden walks, and visit public gardens.  Many times these visits have inspired me to add something different to my own garden.   

I grew up gardening alongside my mother in rich, fertile river-bottom soil in the cool of coastal Northern California.  I now live and garden in the far upper reaches of the Sacramento Valley where summers are long,...

Im still in mostly planing stages other than a few vegys in my garden. We have an old apple tree and some walnut trees. Although we do have some wonderful Rodys that I love. I would really like to make my whole yard...

It all started the summer of 2010 when my goal was to make fresh salsa. In the beginning it was just one little patio tomato plant in a container,and from there it grew, and it grew and it grew...and it is still growing....

We have picky eaters in this family so we grow a little bit of everything and we ONLY grow heirloom!

I am excited to be able to put more focus and energy into my gardens this year. I have been busy building my house, a greenhouse/chicken coop/rabbit house the last two years. 

Hawaii is filled with adventure: a long season, micro climates, high winds, rainbows, and cutworms, snails and slugs that seem to grow faster than the plants.  But with that being said, it is a beautiful place to explore...
