Bloom and Wilt Gardens - Invidious

Bloom and Wilt Gardens

Hi, I’m Alexa✨💕 – welcome to Bloom and Wilt Gardens! I’m a home gardener in Northeast Ohio (Zone 6a), growing food and flowers in a small yard with my family. For 10 years, I’ve created artistic edible gardens while raising backyard chickens and sharing seasonal tips, homesteading inspiration, and real-life moments.

Now expecting baby #3 (with a 12-year age gap!), I’m learning to slow down and reconnect with what matters—faith, food, and family. This channel is about honoring life’s cycles: the blooming, the wilting, and the beauty in both. Inspired by Psalm 103:15, I share how gardening helps me grow a healthier lifestyle and a more rooted life.

A reflection of both blooming and withering—the beauty of life and the lessons in the fade. Here you’ll find gardening tips, real-life family updates, and seasonal food inspiration rooted in grace, grit, and the soil beneath our feet.
