🌿 Welcome My Garden Journal

Practical gardening advice, cottage garden inspiration, herbs, seasonal living, and simple ways to create a beautiful life outdoors.

Hi, I'm Elizabeth Richey, gardener, author, and creator of Barefoot & Bloom.

After nearly a decade of sharing garden videos online, I created this journal as a place to collect everything I've learned about growing flowers, vegetables, herbs, and a slower, more intentional life.

Whether you're planting your first flower bed or dreaming of a cottage garden overflowing with blooms, I hope you'll find encouragement here.

✨ While you're here, be sure to explore my books, monthly newsletter, and printable garden resources.
