Tiny Yard Bouquets

Hi, I'm Jin from Eastern Iowa, USDA Zone 5b. Gardening is my outlet from a full-time healthcare career — and most of the plants I choose are easy-care, low-maintenance, and perennial, because that's what real life asks for. I love creating a four-season interest garden with dwarf conifers and perennial flowers in less than 0.25 acres.

Here, I share easy-care plant choices, perennials with the goal of blooms nearly every week, and landscape design thinking for small gardens in a cold climate — 4️⃣ seasons of interest, one quiet garden at a time.

My garden was featured in Fine Gardening Magazine's Garden Photo of the Day — a small moment that reminded me why sharing this journey matters.

Please join me and come along. 🌸
