Welcome to Perennial Home and Gardens: Tanya’s Journey from City Life to Gardening Bliss
Welcome to Perennial Home and Garden, where we share stories, tips, and inspiration for anyone looking to create their own peaceful retreat through gardening, statuary, and DIY home projects. This blog is about Tanya, a city girl who made the bold move to Southern Maryland to embrace a lifestyle she never thought possible—gardening, statuary creation, and transforming her home on a modest 7-acre plot.
From the Hustle of the City to the Calm of the Garden
Tanya’s story is one of transformation. Like many of us, she once lived in the heart of the city, surrounded by concrete and skyscrapers. Her experience with nature was limited to the occasional potted plant, usually with little success. Gardening wasn’t even on her radar. Fast forward to today, and Tanya is not only a proud gardener but also a creator of statuary that brings personality and charm to her outdoor space. Her DIY projects have transformed her home and garden into a beautiful oasis. Tanya’s journey is inspiring to anyone who’s ever wanted to embrace a more hands-on, nature-filled lifestyle, and we’re here to share her story with you.
In this blog, we’ll explore the three main areas that Tanya has come to love: Gardening, Statuary, and DIY Home Projects. Each of these passions has brought her closer to nature and to herself, and we want to help you embark on a similar journey—whether you have acres to work with or just a small backyard.
Gardening: The Heart of a Beautiful Home
One of the first things Tanya learned when she moved to her 7-acre property was that gardening isn’t just about picking plants and throwing them in the ground. It’s about understanding the land, getting to know your soil, and learning how to care for and nurture your plants. Tanya’s gardening journey wasn’t instant—it took time, effort, and plenty of learning from trial and error.
In our gardening section, we’ll cover:
- Getting Started with Gardening: Whether you’re working with a small space or acres of land, gardening starts with understanding the basics. We’ll help you choose the right plants for your climate, soil type, and space. Even if you’re new to gardening, we’ll guide you through the essentials to help you grow a thriving garden.
- Seasonal Planting: Knowing when to plant is critical to your success. We’ll walk you through what to plant in each season, from spring flowers to summer vegetables, fall harvests, and even winter-friendly plants.

Whether you’re working with a balcony garden or large outdoor space, gardening can bring immense satisfaction. It’s a hobby that pays off with every bloom, harvest, and moment of peace spent in your garden.
Statuary: Adding Character to Your Garden
One of the most unique aspects of Tanya’s garden is her collection of garden statuary. Over time, she has learned how to create and design statues, fountains, and other decorative elements that add a touch of personality and charm to her outdoor space. Statuary is more than just decoration—it’s an expression of creativity and a way to make your garden feel uniquely yours.
In our statuary section, we’ll cover:
- Creating Your Own Statuary: Tanya didn’t start as an expert sculptor, but she’s learned the process over time. We’ll guide you through the steps to create your own garden statues, whether you want to make a small birdbath or a life-sized statue for your garden.
- Choosing the Right Pieces for Your Garden: Not all statuary works in every garden. We’ll help you select pieces that match your garden’s style, size, and theme. Whether you’re looking for classical Greek statues, whimsical animal figures, or more modern designs, we’ll show you how to incorporate them into your garden.
- Caring for Statuary: Proper care of garden statues is key to ensuring they last. We’ll explain how to maintain and protect your statues, especially in areas with harsh weather conditions.
Tanya has found that statuary doesn’t just add beauty to her garden—it also tells a story. Whether it’s a small whimsical bird or a grand, elaborate fountain, each piece is a reflection of her journey and the beauty she’s created in her own backyard.
DIY Home Projects: Transforming Your Space
The joy of DIY projects has played a huge role in Tanya’s life. From simple home repairs to larger, more ambitious renovations, DIY projects have allowed her to put her personal touch on her home and save a significant amount of money in the process. Tanya has learned that with a little creativity and the right resources, anyone can tackle home improvement projects and transform their space.
