Hi, I'm Amy Andrychowicz and I am the creator of the website Get Busy Gardening™, a popular gardening website dedicated to beginner gardeners! I am also the author of several gardening eBooks, which are available here.
I get my green thumb from my parents, and I've been gardening for most of my life. I am a passionate gardener who enjoys growing vegetables, herbs, annuals, perennials, succulents, tropical plants, and houseplants - you name, I've grown it!
After purchasing my first home in 2002, I soon discovered that I have a knack for designing and building DIY projects. Over the years, I've transformed our boring suburban yard into a garden oasis by adding several flower gardens, a large vegetable garden, a tropical garden, a rain garden, a Zen garden, two ponds, and many unique hardscape features - all of which were DIY projects.
When I'm not gardening, you’ll find me traveling with my husband, enjoying outdoor activities, and spending time with friends and family. I live and garden in Minneapolis, Minnesota (zone 4b) with my husband and two cats (though the cats aren’t much help in the garden!).
I'm super excited to announce the release of my first published book, “Vertical Vegetables: Simple Projects that Deliver More Yield in Less Space”!! Be sure to order your copy today, or learn more about my Vertical Vegetables book here.
