A garden is never truly finished – every change, even a “mistake” is just another step in its ever-evolving beauty
This is North Facing Wall, a place where a passion for gardening meets practical advice on cultivating plant species from around the globe. I'm Satu, the founder and enthusiastic gardener behind this site. In 2023, my partner and I bought a small house with a small garden – and it was clear the garden needed a lot of love. The journey started with a single question: What can I grow in a shady spot against a north-facing wall? Since then, I’ve been patiently transforming our tiny patch of land into a thriving oasis through a mix of trial and error, countless hours of research and plenty of muddy hands. The work is far from done, and whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting out, I invite you to join me and benefit from the insights and tips I’ve gathered so far, as we work together to create the perfect green space.
