We're glad you're here

Hey friends! Welcome to Porches and Gardens! Come on in, kick off your shoes, and pour yourself a glass of sweet tea (or maybe something a little stronger if the day's been long, we won't tell).

My name's Sunny, and I started this little corner of the internet because I believe life is best enjoyed slow and sweet, with dirt under your nails and sunshine on your face. Whether it's a rocking chair on the front porch, a patch of tomatoes out back, or a flower bed that's seen more love than planning, this blog is for anyone who finds joy in the simple beauty of home.

Here at Porches and Gardens, we'll chat about everything from morning coffee on the veranda to what to plant when the dogwoods bloom. You can expect tips on gardening (the kind that works even when you forget to water), porch styling ideas that don't cost a fortune, and little musings on life in the South like how to know when it's too hot for pie and just right for banana pudding.

I grew up where porches are more than decorations they're gathering places, thinking spots, and the best place in the world to hear a good story. And gardens? Well, they've taught me more about patience, hope, and hard work than just about anything else.

So whether you're a seasoned green thumb or just thinking about buying your first fern, I'm so glad you're here. Let's grow together, sip something cold, and remember the joy of slowing down.

Stay a while there's plenty more to come.

xoxo,

Sunny
