Gardening enthusiasts and fans of the hit show Fixer Upper are likely familiar with the stunning gardens featured on the show and at the Magnolia Market in Waco, Texas. The woman behind many of those beautiful outdoor spaces is Joanna Gaines' longtime friend and the Magnolia Garden director, Joanna Klingle. In a recent interview, Klingle shared her tips for creating a garden that reflects Joanna Gaines' signature style and philosophy.
Klingle emphasized the importance of starting with a thoughtful plan before diving into any garden project. She suggests taking the time to assess the space, considering factors like sunlight, soil quality, and the existing landscape. From there, gardeners can choose plants and design elements that complement the space and create a cohesive look.
One key element of the Magnolia garden aesthetic is the use of vintage and repurposed materials. Klingle recommends scouring flea markets and antique shops for unique pieces that can add character to the garden. She also encourages gardeners to get creative with DIY projects, like building a trellis or repainting an old bench.
