About Hearth and Vine

Hi, I’m Patti.
Welcome to Hearth & Vine.

This all started as a gardening blog in 2014, called Garden Matter. In 2017 I changed the name to Hearth and Vine to better reflect the content, which in addition to gardening includes; DIY projects, seasonal and holiday home decor, and many easy recipes.

What You Will Find Here

At Hearth and Vine, I’m sharing a fresh new take on many projects and skills that I’ve learned over the years. You can expect to find fun, easy, and budget-friendly diy projects, gardening tips, and recipes. For me, there’s nothing more rewarding than creating something new and beautiful without having to spend a lot of money.

Fun Facts About Me

I was born and have lived in Southwestern Pennsylvania most of my life. I also spent a few years in Baltimore, Maryland, and Nashville, Tennessee.
I’m the middle child of 5 siblings. We all live close by, and we love to have a good time. We are sometimes referred to as “the funny family.”
I have a passion for finding or making beautiful things in an approachable and affordable way.

I am married to my college sweetheart of 39 years. We have two wonderful 30 something daughters. One loves to create and the other has her master's degree in plant biology.
My first taste of growing plants started with a spider plant and an African Violet at the age of 10 and I’ve been hooked ever since.
I enjoy shopping with my girlfriends, making handmade gifts, big family dinners, anything chocolate, and a good mystery.
