Join Liz Chandler @PurlsAndPixels in the garden to grow flowers, vegetables, and more.

Just like knitting, gardening is a slow, but rewarding process where you get to create something beautiful from scratch. Let’s work together to fill our homes with bright flowers, fresh veggies, and tasty berries.

My Garden

In my garden, I love getting my hands dirty, nurturing each plant, and watching them grow. It’s a space filled with blooming flowers, leafy greens, and a few surprises along the way. Just like knitting, every garden project starts small—a seed, a sprout, a little bit of care. It’s where I find inspiration, relax, and connect with nature. I’ve had my fair share of garden mishaps, but those little mistakes just make the successes feel even sweeter.

Your Garden

Your garden can be whatever you want it to be—a colorful flower bed, a small veggie patch, or even a few pots on the patio. The best part is, you don’t need a green thumb to get started. Together, we can figure out what grows best for you, whether it’s learning to care for sunflowers or growing herbs for your kitchen. Just like knitting your first scarf, it’s about starting simple, enjoying the process, and watching it all come to life.

Our Garden

Let’s grow something beautiful together. Our garden is more than just a patch of dirt—it’s a shared space where creativity blooms. By connecting our love for knitting and growing, we can find new ways to inspire each other and enjoy both crafts. Whether you’re here for tips, a little motivation, or just to see what’s sprouting, this is a place for us all to dig in, plant seeds, and watch our hard work pay off in flowers, veggies, and knitted treasures.
