As we’re in the planning phase for our 2026 spring gardens, it’s easy to get caught up in seed catalogs. Today, I’m sharing the three specific design layers I use to create a beautiful, intentional garden that feels like a sanctuary rather than just a collection of plants.
Welcome to Michelle’s Home and Garden! I’m so glad you’re here.
From my home in Illinois, I share curated ideas for creating timeless, “collected” spaces by blending new finds with treasures. With a background in visual merchandising and floral design, my goal is to help you style a home and garden that feels intentional and personal—never “just decorated.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden sanctuary. 💚 It's inspirational to me as we moved from the West Coast to Illinois a few years back and working on our garden has been a top priority in our new home. 💚
Very useful tips! Congratulations on achieving such a gorgeous garden! Thanks for sharing ❤!
Can someone please tell me the name of the music playing while the big fountain is shown at 5:27. Beautiful ❤.
Thank you again for your tips and advice. Your garden is such an inspiration! Beautiful!
I'm so glad the music and the fountain are bringing a bit of peace to your Saturday! Which of the 3 layers do you find the most challenging to style in your own space? I'd love to hear your thoughts below!💐💕
I love taking "walks" through your gardens with you. It is so helpful to be reminded about the "little" additions not just the large ones. Have a wonderful week, Michelle.
Michelle, I discovered your channel last summer at the beach. I love watching your videos! Do you have any gardening books to recommend for design? I am a rose gardener, but I want to add lots of layers. Thank you so much!❤
Your garden is gorgeous! Thank you for sharing it with us… What is the white rose at 2:13? I've been looking for one just like it!
So gorgeous ❤❤❤❤
