Joanna Gaines: A garden of inspiration
Joanna Gaines, known for her stunning home designs and delicious recipes, extends her creativity into her personal garden. In the spring 2025 issue of Magnolia Journal, she shares insights into her gardening philosophy, emphasizing the importance of evolution and change. “The garden is a place of evolution,” she states, highlighting how it mirrors life’s unfolding journey. Each season brings new opportunities for growth, and Gaines embraces this by varying her plant selections.
The star of the garden: Ranunculus
Among the vibrant blooms in her garden, the ranunculus stands out as a favorite. Recognized as 1-800-Flowers’ flower of the year for 2025, these delicate blooms symbolize the arrival of spring. “Out of everything we planted, the ranunculus were the first flowers to bloom after winter—the first sign that warmth and light were on the way,” Gaines reflects. Their multilayered petals, reminiscent of roses yet more fragile, create a breathtaking display that captivates all who visit.
Lessons from nature: Growth and change
Gaines finds profound lessons in her garden, particularly from the ranunculus. “All spring long, those ranunculus have been a reminder to me that even our most familiar places can, and should, change and evolve,” she shares. This philosophy extends beyond her garden; it resonates with her approach to life and creativity. By planting a variety of flowers, including anemones, sweet peas, and lavender, she cultivates a space that reflects her belief in branching out and embracing new experiences.
