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.
