Hi Reader,

Big changes are happening!

As some of you may have seen on YouTube, we're making the move from Michigan (Zone 6A) to Kentucky (Zone 6B). It's the beginning of an exciting garden transformation journey that I can't wait to share with you.

I'll continue sharing practical tips, regional insights, and historical garden wisdom to help you create a garden to enjoy all year long.

We simply have a new location for those discussions.

The Challenge Before Us

Take a good look at what we're starting with—not exactly a garden lover's dream, is it? This temporary space will be our home for about two years while we build our forever home nearby.

How do you transform a neglected outdoor space into something beautiful when:

• You're working with a limited budget
• It's not your permanent home
• You've got just 2-3 growing seasons to make an impact

Why Follow This Journey?

This is the perfect project to apply the garden design lessons we've been studying at Garden Moxie.

Every challenge we encounter becomes a learning opportunity for your garden projects.

It might not be pretty, but it will be educational.

What You'll Learn Along the Way

This will be your front-row seat to seeing garden design principles applied in real-time.

Remember all those concepts we've been exploring? Now you'll see exactly how they work in practice:

• Smart plant selection for quick impact with minimal investment
• Budget-friendly design solutions that don’t look “cheap”
• Transferable garden elements that can move with us later
• Problem-solving approaches for challenging spaces

Thanks for being part of our garden community. I'd love to hear what you think. If there are specific topics you hope I cover, please just hit reply and let me know.

Happy Gardening,
Sue
