Lainie’s Garden

Welcome to Lainie’s Garden! 

I’m Lainie, a busy professional learning to build a beautiful food and flower garden from scratch in my urban Canadian backyard (Zone 6b/7a).

This is a cozy, real-life garden channel where small spaces grow big things and where perfection is absolutely not required. Whether you’re a new gardener trying to navigate short Canadian seasons, a plant lover balancing a demanding career, or just here for a calming visual escape to unwind after a long workday, you’ll find a space here to grow with.

Follow along as I figure it out one season at a time, documenting a major backyard transformation with raised beds, flower borders, and two curious shihpoos always underfoot.

What we're exploring this season:
🌿 Real-life Canadian backyard transformation
🌸 Low-maintenance flower borders & tricky shade solutions
🥬 Vegetable beds & containers
🐶 Cameos from my two garden pups
