Welcome to TigreBlume In The Garden! 

My name is Shawna. I discovered the magic of gardening in 2016, and it quickly blossomed into a year-round passion!

When I started my gardening journey, I primarily focused on growing flowers so I could make my own floral bouquets, rather than buying them from stores. At that time, I mostly grew in containers/flower pots on my backyard deck. 

Today, I grow a vast variety of flowers, vegetables, and herbs (mostly from seed) in the ground, raised garden beds, containers and fabric bags. My goal is to grow the maximum amount of high-yield vegetables, herbs and flowers, all whilst experimenting with unconventional growing methods. 

I garden in the United States Zone 6 and my outdoor growing season begins in March and typically ends in early December, depending on when we start to get consistent hard frosts. 

Gardening has become my year-round joy—a continuous cycle of growing fresh food and cultivating beautiful, seasonal flowers right here in my backyard. 

If you’re interested in growing vegetables, herbs and flowers in small, urban or unconventional spaces—with a healthy dose of high density planting—you are in the right place. My mission is to demonstrate that you can harvest fresh produce and enjoy beautiful blooms, even if your garden is just a 4x4 balcony or a modest collection of flower pots.

Every week, I take you inside my gardening journey! Follow along for my personal experiences, proven tips, and the exact methods I use to grow and maintain thriving garden spaces.

You don't need a lot of space to start growing! Just start with what you have!
