Welcome to Karen Hugg’s Website
Hi all,
I’m Karen, a freelance writer, author, and designer. I’ve been working on some short pieces for spring and the outline of a new book. I’m also blogging about the activities featured in Leaf Your Troubles Behind and general gardening advice.
Check out my latest posts and sign up for my newsletter so you won’t miss any updates.
Also, I’m opening up my garden design services again. If you’re in need of a sanctuary, give me a shout through my contact page. I can help in person for Seattleites or via virtual consultations for remote clients.
And if you’re thinking, who is this person again? you can read more about me, here.
Cheers,

Have you ever felt happier after a walk in the woods or fiddling with houseplants but your hectic life stressed you out again? In our rushed, tech-based, indoor society, we may yearn for a break but only manage to get through a noisy day and collapse in bed. Regaining a peaceful mind seems beyond reach. But what if there were easy, low-cost activities to heal the soul? What if we could regularly access tranquility? How would we do that? The answer may be in the simplest, most abundant thing all around us: plants.
