You Don’t Need a Green Thumb.
You Need a Better Plan.
The Bricks ‘n Blooms Guide gives you exactly that — the plants, the design, and the easy-care system that finally makes your flower garden work.
I’ve been gardening for nearly 30 years, and I made every mistake in the book before I figured out what actually works. Wrong plants in the wrong conditions. Beds that looked gorgeous in May and disappointing by July. Hours of maintenance on plants that were never going to thrive where I put them.
Here’s what I eventually learned: most gardeners aren’t failing because they don’t try hard enough. They’re failing because nobody gave them the right system.
That’s what this book is. The system I wish I’d had from the beginning — built from two and a half decades of real gardening on my 10-acre New Jersey farmhouse, tested in every season, and written so you can actually use it in your own garden starting right now.
THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU IF…
If any of that sounds familiar, you’re not bad at gardening. You just haven’t had the right guide yet.
What’s Inside
This isn’t a coffee table book you flip through and set down. It’s a working guide — the kind you keep on your potting bench and actually use. Here’s what you’ll find inside:

MEET THE AUTHOR
I’m Stacy Ling — trained master gardener, author, and the creator of Bricks ‘n Blooms. I garden on 10 acres at our 1850 farmhouse in northern New Jersey (Zone 6b), where I’ve spent nearly 30 years figuring out what actually works in a real garden, with real weather, real soil challenges, and a real life happening around it.
I’m not a greenhouse grower or a gardening theorist. I’m someone who has dug up a bed and started over because I made the wrong choices — and who eventually built something I’m genuinely proud of because I found the approach that works.
This book is the guide I wish I’d had. Everything in it comes from my own garden, my own experience, and the questions I get every single day from gardeners who are exactly where I once was.
My work has been featured in Better Homes & Gardens, Architectural Digest, Fine Gardening, HGTV, People, and more. I’ve appeared on Live with Kelly & Mark. But honestly? The credential I’m most proud of is a garden that blooms beautifully from March through November — and the system that makes it possible.
