About

Hi, I’m Kristen — welcome to The Shy Garden. This is where I share the stories behind my gardens: how they began, how they’ve changed over time, and what I’m learning along the way.

My front yard has become a little potager full of vegetables, herbs, and flowers. The side yard is home to my backyard cut flower farm and Saturday flower stand. And the backyard? That’s a work in progress — a place I’m slowly transforming from “dump” to “delight.”

Gardening has always been more than plants for me — it’s creative, therapeutic, and sometimes just plain fun. Through this blog, I hope to encourage you, whether you’re starting your first raised bed, dreaming of cut flowers, or simply looking for a peaceful pause in your day.

Thanks for stopping by. Feel free to wander, leave a comment, or subscribe so you don’t miss the next story from The Shy Garden.
