The first 2 steps from the sidewalk and into the garden serve as the official entrance to my family's home. Self-designed and mostly DIY, the garden encourages all visitors to stop and enjoy the colors and textures before coming through the front door.

I returned to my childhood home, to take care of my 94-yr old mother who has owned this house for approximately sixty years. She suffered a massive stroke approximately four years ago and is paralyzed. I began making upgrades to her house to lift her spirits. The house was purchased in 1960 by my mom and dad who came from Mexico to the United States. Through struggles and hard work, they were able to finally pay off this home and raise a family of 5.
The windows, brick work, front of the house with pavers, the entrance, the cement stairs and adding a variety of flowers to make this home a beautiful 100 + yr old original Chicago bungalow to create a fixture of beauty in this community.

Krystal Isler, Portage Park

My garden is a labor of love that’s grown outward year by year, transforming our Chicago bungalow into a lush, layered retreat full of texture, color, and life. I’ve carefully blended sun and shade plants to work with the dappled light from our beloved front-yard tree, creating a space that’s constantly evolving and alive with seasonal interest. It’s more than curb appeal — it’s where I spend my summer days, nurturing beauty from the ground up!
