Our History

Home Garden Joy began in September 2007 as the Seven Oaks blog. I chronicled my journey from New York City to rural Virginia and all the unique, unusual, and wonderful things I learned about rural living. In 2014, I moved the entire blog to a WordPress platform and renamed it Home Garden Joy to better reflect my focus on all things gardening, especially growing herbs, fruit, and vegetables.

Home Garden Joy has been featured in many national and regional publications and by such noted organizations as the American Horticultural Society. It has won numerous awards and has been declared one of the top 25 gardening blogs worldwide by several independent organizations.
