Greenwood Nursery Highlights the Rise of the 'Welcome Home Garden'

Welcome Home Garden featuring fragrant lavender and welcoming plantings along a front entryway. Greenwood Nursery encourages homeowners to create outdoor spaces designed for personal enjoyment, comfort, and everyday beauty.
New article explores how simple plant choices can create outdoor spaces homeowners enjoy every day—not just landscapes designed to impress passersby.
The concept, which Greenwood Nursery calls the Welcome Home Garden, focuses less on appearances from the street and more on how a garden feels when homeowners experience it every day.
"Many homeowners are discovering that the gardens they love most aren't necessarily the most elaborate," said Cheryl Jones of Greenwood Nursery. "Often it's a fragrant lavender plant beside a walkway, a flowering shrub outside a favorite window, or a pollinator garden that brings butterflies and hummingbirds closer to home."
The nursery recently published a new educational article titled 'The Welcome Home Garden: Why More Homeowners Are Designing Gardens for Themselves, Not the Neighbors', exploring how small plant choices can dramatically improve the experience of arriving home.
The article examines:
• The difference between traditional curb appeal and Welcome Home Gardening
• How fragrance, color, pollinator activity, and seasonal interest contribute to homeowner enjoyment
• Why a few carefully chosen plants can create meaningful change without major landscape renovations
• Three before-and-after examples showing how simple plant additions can transform walkways, foundation beds, and patio areas
According to Greenwood Nursery, many successful Welcome Home Gardens begin with a small collection of dependable plants rather than a complete landscape overhaul.
Popular plant categories featured in the article include:
• Lavender and other fragrant plants
• Coneflowers and pollinator-friendly perennials
• Colorful low-maintenance groundcovers such as ajuga
• Flowering shrubs for structure and seasonal beauty
• Low-maintenance plants that provide long-term enjoyment
The article encourages homeowners to start with the places they see most often—front walkways, entry gardens, patios, and outdoor sitting areas—and gradually build gardens that feel personal and welcoming.
"The goal here isn't perfection," Jones said. "The goal is creating outdoor spaces that make you happy to come home."
