We are here to help you create the garden of your dreams.
Hey there -
I'm Caitlin!
Since 2017, I have been transforming my historic 100-year-old home’s yard into a functional outdoor space for my family. I inherited years and years of old landscaping with some quirky specimen plants, old sheds, mature trees that I didn’t know what to do with, and more.
When I first started, I was clueless.
I like getting my hands dirty and learning new skills, and found myself diving into gardening textbooks, going down YouTube rabbit holes, and digging literally hundreds of holes in my yard for new plants.
While juggling a full-time job and two energetic kids, I have dedicated countless hours to learning and experimenting with plants - and feel like I’ve finally cracked the code on home gardening.
I'm now excited to share my self-taught knowledge with you with The Thrive Guide.
If you like learning new things and being outside and are craving an outdoor space that you love, you’re in the right place.
Let’s do this!
A few years ago, I created a garden path behind my detached garage—both the plants and the kids are growing! In the newly full-shade area, I transplanted about two dozen cast iron plants and chose some shade shrubs as a privacy screen by our fence - oakleaf hydrangea, lace leaf hydrangeas, and aucuba. —Caitlin
