Real gardens, real projects, real people
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
This is a space for anyone who wants to turn their backyard into something useful, beautiful, and handmade — without needing a fancy budget, a pro tool shed, or years of
experience.
Whether you're growing tomatoes for the first time, fixing up an old shed, or figuring out how to build a compost bin from scrap wood — you're in the right place.
What We’re About
At Garden & Grit DIY, we believe in:
Starting where you are — even if that’s a balcony, a patch of dirt, or a lawn full of weeds.
Making things that work — not just look good
Learning by doing — even when you mess up (especially when you mess up)
Using what you’ve got — thrifted tools, leftover lumber, repurposed planters
Finding peace in the process — because sometimes digging in the dirt is the best therapy

This is About You — and the Space You’re Building
You don’t need to be a pro.
You don’t need to have it all figured out.
You just need the willingness to try, fail, and try again — with a bit of soil under your nails and a few stubborn screws.
We’re here to help you do just that.
