Bush Border Guide

About Joelle Dellinger

Founder & Editor

I spent my childhood digging through my grandfather’s garden in upstate New York, learning which plants thrived in the shade and which needed full sun to survive.

That curiosity never left me, and now I’m here to share what I’ve discovered—whether it’s the best way to coax life from a stubborn seedling or how to turn a patch of dirt into a thriving little ecosystem.

This site is where I pass along the lessons I’ve picked up over the years, from my own backyard experiments to the wisdom of fellow green thumbs.
