Side Yard Garden Tour | Here She Grows

I'm so excited about my side yard garden and am thrilled to share it with you! An often overlooked space, the side yard garden has become a place for pollinators and deer. I've never had deer! But when you have the woods right across the street and build a smorgasbord up to the sidewalk, their arrival is inevitable. So I'm learning about deer repellant now!

The community that's developed around the side yard garden is AMAZING! It's unique in the area which I find both cool and slightly sad. I wish gardens were more common around here. But I think this space is inspiring my neighbors, many of whom I didn't know before the side yard garden came to life. Friendships have been made because of plants and I think that's the coolest part of all!

Hi there! My name is Heather and I garden in zone 5B, recently changed to 6a, in the southwest suburbs of Chicago on a small residential lot. My garden lives a whole lot larger than it is and I love sharing tips and tricks, as well as plenty of mistakes, with others who love to play in the dirt.
