Mission Statement
At Zen Garden Gal, our mission is to help women (like you!) who are burned out from chasing the next big thing to find balance and joy. How? By embracing mindfulness, slowing down, and—of course—growing a garden that’s not just full of plants, but full of peace. We offer everything from tutorials to personal stories, practical gardening tips, and a healthy dose of calm. Because let’s face it, you deserve more than just another to-do list.
Our Story
Zen Garden Gal wasn’t always a blog—it started as a little voice in my head, whispering that I could slow down. After years of chasing goals and feeling unfulfilled despite “achieving it all,” I stumbled into mindfulness. My journey began with meditation, spending time outside, and then…gardening. Who knew that a few plants could help me discover inner peace? Now, I’m here to share my story, the lessons I’ve learned, and a bunch of gardening tips that’ll make you feel like you’re doing more than just growing flowers. You’re growing yourself.
Who we are
Hey there! I’m Maylin, the voice behind Zen Garden Gal. I’m just a regular woman who got tired of the rat race and decided it was time to plant some roots—literally and figuratively. Through my personal journey of embracing mindfulness and starting a garden (on my tiny apartment balcony, no less!), I found a way to slow down and enjoy life. Now I want to help other women like me—busy, overwhelmed, and wondering if there’s more to life than the endless hustle—find peace through gardening and simple mindfulness practices.
I’m your neighbor who’s been there. You know, the one who’s got a garden full of imperfect plants and a few too many cups of coffee, but also knows the power of taking a pause. I’ll be right here sharing what I’ve learned, the good and the messy, and cheering you on as you cultivate both your garden and your inner peace. Whether you’re starting your first garden or just need a reminder to take a deep breath, I’ve got your back.
