Sue Libertiny

I’m Sue Libertiny. I’m building a new garden in Kentucky (Zone 6B) called Sugar Hill. While we’re building, I’m gardening in a temporary space I call Rabbit Run—it’s my testing ground, where I’m figuring out how to work with Kentucky’s heavy clay soil.

Welcome to my ongoing experiment in slowing down and paying attention to beauty. Garden Moxie is for people who want to live more slowly and beautifully through gardening and creativity.

Field Notes

Garden Moxie Field Notes is a newsletter for people who care about beauty, gardens, and history. I share seasonal reflections, what’s working (and what’s not) in the garden, and quiet inspiration. It arrives in your inbox every other week.
