As the founder and creative voice behind SpacewiseGardens, I’m Gulden — a passionate garden designer, DIY enthusiast, and firm believer that everyone deserves a green space that brings them joy, no matter how big or small.
My journey into the world of gardening didn’t start in horticulture school, but in tiny balconies and patchy backyards, where I discovered just how transformative a thoughtfully cultivated space could be. What began as a personal mission to carve out calm and beauty in my outdoor surroundings turned into a deep passion for helping others do the same.
My Garden Philosophy
I believe gardens should be more than just pretty—they should nurture your senses, reflect your personality, and support your everyday rhythms. My approach blends:
Smart use of space to maximize beauty and function
Layered plantings that bring life, texture, and seasonal joy
Natural materials that feel grounded and sustainable
Thoughtful touches that make a space truly yours
Rather than picture-perfect garden spreads that feel out of reach, I champion spaces that work for real life—whether it’s a balcony filled with herbs, a compact patio with potted blooms, or a front yard that doubles as a pollinator haven.

Beyond the Blog
When I’m not potting up new plant combos or sketching layout ideas, you’ll probably find me scouting native plants, experimenting with garden-to-table recipes, or enjoying a slow evening surrounded by twinkle lights and fresh air.
To me, a garden is both a place and a feeling — and I’m honored to be part of your journey to create both.
