A Home Garden How-To
Harvest Happiness With Your Own Thriving Home Garden
ARTICLE BY NICOLE BELL

home garden
Growing your own garden at home is a rewarding way to encourage healthy eating habits. With the right care, sunlight, soil and maintenance, your garden will thrive all season long. Join us as we share what it takes to create and maintain your very own home garden.
Growing a home garden is a fulfilling and fun way to enjoy fresh, homegrown food, no matter how much space you have (or don’t have). Whether you have a sprawling backyard or just a small balcony, getting started is easier than you might think!
Similar to the real estate mantra “location, location, location,” the same holds true when it comes to where to begin your growing adventure. Most plants need at least 6-8 hours of sunlight a day, so be sure to find a spot that gets plenty of sun. If you’re short on space, don’t worry—containers or raised beds are great options for small spaces, allowing you to grow even in tight areas.
When planning your garden, it’s best to start with easy-to-grow plants, such as tomatoes, lettuce, carrots and herbs (like basil or mint). These crops are forgiving and thrive in most environments, making them perfect for beginners. Be sure to think about how much space each plant will need and consider companion planting with other plants, which can help all of your plants flourish together.
Soil health is also crucial to a successful garden. For in-ground planting, improving soil quality with compost or organic matter is key to promoting strong plant growth. If you’re growing in containers, choose a high-quality potting mix to ensure good drainage and nutrient retention.
Once your soil is prepped, it’s time to plant your seeds. For each type of plant, follow the specific planting instructions regarding depth and spacing. Regular watering is essential—keeping the soil consistently moist (not soggy) helps your plants thrive. Mulching around your plants helps retain moisture and also reduces weed growth.
As your garden grows, watch out for pests and weeds and harvest your crops as they ripen. Many plants, like herbs and lettuce, will continue producing throughout the season if harvested regularly, providing you with a steady supply of fresh produce!
With a little knowledge, care and attention, your home garden will not only brighten up your space but also provide you with delicious, homegrown food to enjoy all year long!
TOMATOES
Tomatoes are a staple in many dishes and are relatively easy to grow, especially in warmer climates. They thrive in full sun and can be grown in containers or raised beds.
LETTUCE
Lettuce and other leafy greens like spinach or kale are fast-growing and ideal for home gardens. They don't require much space and can be harvested multiple times. Lettuce is a versatile staple in many different dishes.
HERBS (BASIL, PARSLEY, MINT)
Fresh herbs are perfect for small gardens, pots or windowsills. They grow quickly and add a lot of flavor to cooking. Basil and mint, in particular, are popular and easy to maintain. What could be better than snipping your own mint leaves for your mojito at home!
CARROTS
Carrots can be grown in deep containers or directly in the ground. They don't require much space and are ready for harvest in 2-3 months. They are also a fun vegetable to grow, especially for kids wanting to see quick and tangible (and tasty!) results.
ZUCCHINI (OR SUMMER SQUASH)
Zucchini plants are very productive and thrive in warm weather. They grow quickly and can yield a lot of vegetables, even from a single plant. With multiple ways to prepare zucchini and squash, these veggies pack a nutritious punch.
PEPPERS (BELL OR HOT)
Peppers are also a versatile vegetable, and both sweet and hot varieties are typically easy to grow. They require plenty of sunlight and warm temperatures but can be grown in containers as well as in the ground, depending on your environment and the space available.

Historic Mansker’s Station
705 Caldwell Drive, Goodlettsville
Standing as one of the most historically accurate reconstructed forts in the nation, Mansker’s Station provides a captivating glimpse into the lives of Tennessee’s first settlers. Built in 1779 by long hunter Kasper Mansker, the original fort played a pivotal role in our area’s early history, serving as a refuge for settlers during the volatile years of the Tennessee frontier.
Located in what is now Goodlettsville, this fort was not only a defense against Native American raids but also the foundation of a thriving community. Over time, Mansker’s Station evolved from a simple fort into a bustling village and then a town, eventually becoming part of modern-day Goodlettsville.
Today, the reconstructed fort stands as a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the early settlers. Visitors can explore a variety of historically accurate structures while engaging in hands-on activities that reflect the daily life of the 18th century. Whether learning about the tools used by early pioneers or observing traditional crafting techniques, Historic Mansker’s Station offers a unique, immersive experience that brings Tennessee’s early history to life, making it a mustvisit destination.

Hawthorn Hill
195 Old Highway 25, Castalian Springs
Hawthorn Hill, constructed in 1806, is a historic Federal-style brick house that holds deep ties to early Tennessee history. Originally built by John Bearden, the property was sold in 1817 to Colonel Humphrey Bate, a War of 1812 veteran. It remained in the Bate family until 1936, passing through generations that contributed significantly to the region’s cultural development.
One of Hawthorn Hill’s most notable features is its connection to Dr. Humphrey Howell Bate Jr., Colonel Bate’s grandson, an influential figure in the world of early country music. Bate was the leader of “Dr. Humphrey Bate and His Possum Hunters,” a pioneering old-time string band. Bate, who played the harmonica, learned his craft from one of the formerly enslaved workers on the property. His band made history as the first old-time string band to perform at the newly established Grand Ole Opry, cementing their place in country music history.
The house also played a role in showcasing the talents of Bate’s daughter, Alycone Bate, who was the first woman to perform at the Grand Ole Opry, playing the ukulele. Today, Hawthorn Hill stands as both a significant architectural landmark and a symbol of the rich musical heritage that shaped Tennessee’s cultural legacy.
Wynnewood
210 Old Highway 25, Castalian Springs
Wynnewood is a remarkable example of early frontier architecture and a key historical site reflecting the beginnings of colonization in the Old South. Built circa 1830 by Alfred R. Wynne, Stephen Roberts and William Cage, the estate was constructed using materials abundant on the property. The site is particularly significant as a well-preserved example of vernacular architecture from the frontier period.
Wynnewood’s location, centered around natural sulphur mineral springs, made it a popular destination for westward travelers, who often stopped here as part of their journey. Over the years, it has served as a mineral springs resort, a stagecoach rest stop, and for over 140 years, the operational center of the Wynne family farm. The estate’s main house, a striking display of craftsmanship, also operated as a seasonal spa where visitors sought the supposed healing properties of the local springs.
Today, Wynnewood stands as a collection of six original log buildings, each offering insight into the region’s early settlement and the lives of those who shaped its development. The site preserves an important chapter in Tennessee’s history, showcasing both the architectural style of the period and the social and economic roles the estate played in the early days of the American frontier.

Douglass-Clark House
2115 Long Hollow Pike, Gallatin
The Douglass-Clark House, built around 1786 for Elmore Douglass and his family, holds a rich and complex history. Located in the heart of Sumner County, it served as both a home and a pivotal site in our area’s early development. From 1788 to 1790, the house also functioned as one of the county’s first courthouses, witnessing crucial moments in the formation of local governance.
In the years that followed, the house passed into the hands of the Clark family, who would experience the turbulent years leading up to the Civil War. In 1861, as the nation teetered on the brink of conflict, the Clarks watched the declaration of war unfold. Four members of their family ultimately enlisted to fight for the Confederacy.
The history of slavery is also deeply tied to the Douglass-Clark House. Records show that enslaved individuals lived and worked on the property as early as 1790. Today, the Douglass-Clark House stands as a powerful testament to the past, inviting visitors to hear the stories of these generations and reflect upon how their lives shaped our area and world today.

Home Is Where Hope Lives
A JOURNEY FROM HARDSHIP TO HOMEOWNERSHIP REFLECTS THE POWER OF COMMUNITY THROUGH HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
ARTICLE BY NICOLE BELL | CIERA HOLMAN
PHOTOGRAPHY BY HABITAT SUMNER | GRETCHEN DEMONBREUN
In Gallatin, we love a powerful story of hope. Brianna, a local, single mother (to Ben, 9, and Kennedy, 7), faced years of uncertainty as she struggled to provide her children with a safe, stable home. Escaping an abusive relationship, Brianna navigated homelessness, living in shelters and temporary housing before finding a modest apartment. Yet, rising rent and unsafe conditions left her family vulnerable. But thanks to the efforts of Habitat for Humanity of Sumner County, Brianna’s sprint toward stability took a transformative turn. Local volunteers came together, contributing their time, skills and generosity to help build a home where Brianna and her children can truly flourish. With immeasurable support from community partners like Gallatin First United Methodist Church, the Publix
Foundation, State Farm and Schneider Electric, Brianna and her family have received more than just a house— they’ve gained a future.
The project was a true community effort. Volunteers hammered nails, painted walls and offered their hands to help build not just a house, but a foundation for a family’s future. “The generosity and support we’ve received has been overwhelming,” Brianna reflects. “This isn’t just a house—it’s the start of a better tomorrow.”
For Brianna, the home also represents a new chapter of stability and opportunity for her family. “This home means everything to us,” Brianna says. “It’s a place where my kids can grow, feel secure and know they’ll always have a roof over their heads.”

Kitchen design has entered a transformative era, where innovation meets artistry to create spaces that are not only functional but also personal and sustainable. With advancements in technology, materials and craftsmanship, today’s kitchens are tailored to meet the evolving needs and tastes of homeowners.
According to interior designer Laura McCroskey, kitchens today are about more than just cooking—they’re an expression of personal lifestyle.
“Kitchen design has entered an exciting time where the possibilities feel limitless,” says McCroskey. “For me, the design process starts before lines are ever drawn on a construction document. I believe in creating spaces that enhance life, both functionally and aesthetically. The design process begins with a discussion about what a space needs to do, and what aesthetic will bring a spark to the homeowner.
INNOVATION MEETS
design. Advanced appliances are at the forefront, enhancing convenience while aligning with a growing emphasis on eco-friendliness.
“From vacuum-sealing drawers that preserve food and reduce waste to smart appliances controlled by your phone, the emphasis is on efficiency and sustainability. Functional storage built seamlessly into marble countertops and oversized workstation sinks are making daily tasks easier and more enjoyable. Thoughtful features like composting compartments and advanced food preservation methods reflect a broader effort to minimize waste and reduce environmental impact.”
Custom cabinetry that maximizes every inch of space minimizes waste while optimizing functionality.
“Forget the limits of traditional cabinetry. Blind corners, tiny nooks and hidden areas are now designed to maximize storage.

I also firmly believe that when designing a kitchen, one should walk out a recipe to make sure everything is in the right place to suit one’s lifestyle. Cooking zones are imperative to a well-designed kitchen.”
Modern kitchens emphasize zoning, or the creation of dedicated areas for preparation, cooking and storage, to enhance workflow and functionality. These zones not only improve efficiency but also contribute to a cohesive and visually appealing aesthetic.
Cutting-edge rendering software, utilizing technology similar to that used in gaming, allows homeowners to visualize their dream kitchens in hyper-realistic detail. While these tools inspire creativity, McCroskey advises balancing ambitious ideas with practical implementation to achieve the best results.
Technology, sustainability and customization are driving the revolution in kitchen
Automated drawers and pop-up outlets are becoming increasingly common, marrying convenience with sleek aesthetics.”
Design trends have also evolved, becoming more flexible to reflect individual tastes.
“While white kitchens remain timeless and black adds drama, bleached woods continue to be popular. Style trends are no longer as rigid—whether you prefer modern, transitional, or traditional designs, you can create a kitchen tailored to your unique vision. There’s no limit to what you can achieve with today’s tools and technologies. The goal is to create spaces that resonate deeply with the people who live in them.”
The kitchen is the heart of every home and represents a space of endless possibility. Whether your aesthetic leans modern, farmhouse or somewhere in between, the tools and technologies available today make it easier than ever to bring your vision to life.
