About Me
Hi, I’m Victoria Cornell, owner, writer and the heart and hands behind Lovely Garden Roots. Gardening has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I watched my parents lovingly plant vegetable gardens and flower beds, and those early memories planted a deep-rooted passion in me. When I became a homeowner at just 19, I dove headfirst into creating my own garden spaces designing flower beds and nurturing plants that brought life and color to my home.
For me, gardening is more than just a hobby. It’s a source of peace and healing. There’s something incredibly soothing about tending to plants—their gentle growth and quiet presence have helped me manage anxiety and find calm in the chaos of everyday life. This personal connection is what inspires every article, tip, and guide I share here at Lovely Garden Roots.
I’m also a proud wife and mother of three wonderful kids, and my family’s support fuels my passion for gardening and sharing knowledge with others. Together, we nurture not just plants but a love for nature and growth in our home.
