Welcome to Nikki Lynn Design!
Here you’ll find inspiration to deepen your connection with nature — from the bustling wildlife of the Midwest to the quiet beauty of the garden. Together we’ll explore seasonal gardening, foraging, and Midwest travel, while celebrating the plants, birds, and landscapes that make this region special. Every adventure nurtures the soul, and every leaf tells a story.


From The Garden, Woods & Fields of Wisconsin

I live and create in Wisconsin, and many of my 300+ posts reflect this love of place. Whether you’re here for travel ideas gardening tips, foraging guides, or simply to enjoy a moment of wild beauty, you’ll find a welcoming space to wander, wonder, and grow.

Along the way, I also share my farmhouse-inspired art, photography, and handmade creations, so you can bring a touch of the Midwest into your own home.

Garden Insects & Pests

Nobody likes them, but at one time or another, we all have them, garden and yard pests. Not all insects are bad for your gardens.

This section will deal with common flower garden and lawn pests. The culprits may raid your gardens and yards, causing havoc by destroying, chewing, and killing your plants.
