Gardening Like
an Artist
Seeds, seasons, and a life built slowly.
Sue Libertiny
I’m a former mechanical engineer who walked away from a career to build a twenty-year garden on 20 acres of Kentucky land. I garden like an artist — slowly, seriously, and with full creative commitment.
I’m documenting everything: the plan, the failures, the revisions, and what I’m learning from the gardeners who did this before me.
I might not succeed, but I’m definitely going to try.

This week I was looking through a gorgeous garden diary written in 1906 by Edith Holden. Edith wrote the diary to capture the changing seasons of the English countryside. It ended up becoming a book, The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady. This book was the inspiration for this week’s video.
