The Best of Garden Therapy: 25 Wildly Popular Garden & Craft Projects

Welcome to the 2015 wrap up post where I’ll share the Best of Garden Therapy from this year. I have a few personal notes to share, as well as look back on the year including 25 Wildly Popular Garden & Craft Projects that were published.Garden Therapy's Best of 2015 Gardening and Crafts Projects

Another year is about to close and I couldn’t be more grateful. 2015 was the year that I became well enough to start working full time. In March of this year I transitioned into a full-time career as a writer, spending my days with gardening and crafts and healthy recipes and natural beauty. Seriously. It’s a job. The best job I could ever imagine. And after nine years of recovery from debilitating illness, I feel like I’m living a dream.Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you've imagined

Until I started living my dreams, I couldn’t imagine that one day I would be a published author. Today I’m thrilled to see that my book, Garden Made: a Year of Seasonal Projects to Beautify Your Garden and Your Life, is available in bookstores everywhere. I wrote the book as a way to showcase some of the creative Garden Made projects that got me outside, digging in the dirt, and changing my life (you can read more about my personal journey here). I hope it becomes a book that inspires others out there to try a project or two and feel the benefits of garden therapy on their body and spirit.

Here on the website that started it all, Garden Therapy has sprouted from a blog to a community of crafty, healthy-living folks who are eager to get a little, well, garden therapy. This year I started writing a more personal newsletter (sign up here) and sending it out weekly through which I have gotten to know you all so much better! Many of you have also joined in on conversation on our community FB Page. I have received notes and feedback letting me know what you like (and what you don’t) and I’ve taken it all back to Garden Therapy: growing, changing, blooming.

Throughout the year, I have made A LOT of things (and of course written about / photographed them) for Garden Therapy: 130 new projects since January. Not only that, but I have also been joined by a creative team and guest authors who have contributed an additional 49 articles.

Of those 179 gardening and craft projects that have been posted this year, there were some that you REALLY loved. Here are the 25 posts that were the most popular in 2015. Please note: this list only covers the most popular posts that were published from January -December 2015. You can see the 2014 list here and a gallery of our most popular posts of all time here.
