Centsational Girl at Home Depot Garden Event


Last week I had the privilege of listening to and meeting the talented and lovely Kate of Centsational Girl at a Home Depot garden event.  She spoke alongside Skip, a Home Depot employee, on container gardening tips and design.


They both were a wealth of inspiration.  I left feeling encouraged to get my fingers in the dirt and take better care of my plants.

Here is Kate showing one of many container designs using supplies from Home Depot.


Once I got past the surreal feeling that I was meeting "the Kate" and actually getting to meet, for the first time, a blogger that I have followed and gotten to know via their blog, I sat back and enjoyed watching a woman that is so talented and passionate about what she does.


I love the commodore of blogging and the fact that it is so personal.  It feels like I get to play a small part in supporting and following along in Kate's success as a blogger and expert in design.

As you would guess, she is just as beautiful and kind as she is on her blog.  And I loved that I could nod my head in agreement as she shared many ideas she has showcased on Centsational Girl.

It didn't really hit me until I saw her speaking but I realized what I love the most about her is that she makes everything look so custom and high end...yet still on a realistic budget that anyone can follow! 


Thanks Kate for always inspiring us!  Check out her blog, Centsational Girl, to read more about her creative ideas!

  2. I'm so glad you got to go to the workshop! Things have been a little nutty on my end (if my lack of blogging hasn't already shouted that fact out loud and clear), so it wasn't in the cards. But thank you for sharing the pictures! I love that stone tile on the pot idea.

  3. Hey Ashley!!! Wasn't Kate the absolute best?!? I was actually there beforehand because I had to get back to Placerville so I missed her talk :(

    I'm so excited about the local blogger meetup! I'm checking it out now! I'd love to meet some local bloggers - esp. you!
