Welcome To Garden Moxie

Garden Moxie is a digital museum dedicated to the art of garden making. Founded by curator and gardener Sue Libertiny, Garden Moxie sits at the intersection of garden history, artistic expression, and creative practice.

Through curated exhibitions, we explore how the greatest garden artists—from Gertrude Jekyll to Vita Sackville-West to Norah Linsay—approached their work, and what their wisdom means for your creative journey. This isn’t a typical gardening site. We don’t follow trends or offer quick fixes. Instead, we dive deep into the art and philosophy of garden making, connecting historic wisdom to contemporary practice.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
We believe gardens are acts of creative expression, not obligation. That rules are guidelines, not gospel. That your garden should reflect who you are, not what’s trending on Instagram. Garden Moxie is for gardeners who want to create with confidence, learn from the masters, and develop their own artistic voice.

About Sue Libertiny

Sue Libertiny is the Founder and Curator of Garden Moxie, a digital museum exploring the art of garden making.

After spending years creating an English-inspired garden in Michigan, Sue and her husband moved to Kentucky in 2025 to build Sugar Hill—a new home and garden informed by Arts & Crafts principles and the wisdom of historic garden makers. Her work focuses on connecting the philosophy and practices of legendary garden artists—Elizabeth von Arnim, Vita Sackville-West, Ellen Willmott, and others—to contemporary gardeners developing their creative voice.

Through Garden Moxie’s exhibitions, videos, and writing, Sue acts as both curator and guide, helping gardeners see their work as artistic practice rather than mere maintenance.
