Stylish home decorating, DIY, organization, and gardening!

Welcome to Carmona Acres! The garden and outdoor spaces on my 16-acre property…

Our outdoor spaces should be an extension of our indoor spaces and receive just as much attention!

The Greenhouse

The greenhouse is one of my favorite DIY projects to date! It was built using old salvaged windows, and it is a great way to grow year-round. This is where I start my seedlings, and overwinter plants.

The Garden

While my goal is to turn the entire property into a botanical garden of sorts, there is one particular area where I grow fruits and vegetables… I built raised garden beds, and no-dig beds right in front of the greenhouse/shed, and this is the area where I grow food and herbs year-round!

The Potting Shed / Garden House

The Potting Shed is also known as the Garden House or my She Shed and it was a huge DIY project. This serves as a lovely escape, but also an extension of the greenhouse. I pot up plants here, start seeds, and store garden tools and supplies here.
