I can almost hear her say it in her proper English accent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#3f0c88\">Hi, I&#8217;m Kristen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#680e99\">In our stressful world, I believe there&#8217;s a real desire to create a backyard environment that&#8217;s an intimate and inviting place to spend time.   In fact <a href=\"https:\/\/makeitagarden.com\/the-allure-of-the-garden-why-the-intrigue\/\"><strong> &#8220;The Allure of the Garden&#8221;<\/strong><\/a> is the very first piece ever written for this blog! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#680e99\">A garden is more than simply flower beds or vegetables.  It&#8217;s where you are free to simply be yourself.  Where the  possibilities are as endless as your imagination.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#680e99\">I guess that&#8217;s why I like a fair amount of whimsy in my garden.  I like things that are positive and happy and beautiful.  I&#8217;m crazy about garden sheds.  I love to re-purpose, re-use and re-make.  Even salvage&#8230;though I don&#8217;t like calling it &#8220;junk&#8221;.  That may be the popular term, but I just don&#8217;t like the sound of it.  While it may have been junk at one time, now that it&#8217;s out in the garden, it&#8217;s ART!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#3f0c88\">finding &#8216;art&#8217; in &#8216;heart&#8217;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#680e99\">&#8220;Make it a Garden&#8221; is an extension of my two passions: art and gardening.  I&#8217;m a rock garden enthusiast who loves perennials and wild flowers.  Many of the photos used throughout our site are from my own garden and the surrounding area.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#680e99\">I&#8217;m also a writer and craftsman who makes and sells my own garden art.

I&#8217;ve got five acres on the side of a mountain that I dream of turning into a Thomas Kinkade painting.  Well, a portion of it anyway&#8230;even if just a small corner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#680e99\">In the meantime,  I was searching for simple things that I could do on my own&#8211;things that didn&#8217;t cost too much.  That&#8217;s when I began to see how a touch of art could transform any garden.  Art is the magic that makes a bland wooden fence spring to life, or turns the humble storage shed into a charming focal point.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#3f0c88\">simple things<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#680e99\">I consider the natural surroundings to be every bit a part of my garden as well. For instance, there&#8217;s  a gracefully  formed willow tree with a branch that stretches out towards the garden shed.  Just perfect for hanging my little bird feeder.  Its trunk is surrounded by a mass of wild roses.  (Prickly Rose, rosa acicularis)  They&#8217;re only in bloom for a few weeks in June.  But whenever a light breeze blows, I catch a faint whiff of their perfume.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/makeitagarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Tea-Cup-rose.jpg?fit=663%2C884&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Garden magazine decorative garden art piece of a tea cup and saucer mounted on a stake.

I don&#8217;t even mind pulling weeds as it gets me up close and personal with a microscopic world.  It&#8217;s there that I can examine my soils and inspect my plants.  Where I leave my world and enter theirs.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#5d0a89\">I chuckle watching a bumblebee crawl down into a flower with his little bee butt sticking out.  Now, there&#8217;s a critter that&#8217;s intensely focused.  I pause to watch a centipede scramble across a rock, while hoping that butterfly will land nearby.  Where&#8217;s my camera when I need it, right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#5d0a89\">If you like to get lost in the garden, nap in sun, and create inviting places to hang out, I hope you&#8217;ll like what&#8217;s happening here.  Whether your yard is like a blank slate or you already have established beds and borders, an adventure awaits in the garden.  On a small budget, I&#8217;ve learned that with careful planning and a bit of ingenuity, it&#8217;s absolutely possible to create a delightful setting to visit with friends.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-text-color\" style=\"color:#680e99\">Or just to enjoy the quiet solitude. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/makeitagarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Wheelbarrow-flowers-in-SUN-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Picture shows an old wheelbarrow used as a planter.
