[vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” background_animation=”none” css_animation=””][vc_column][vc_column_text]Here you will find a wide variety of articles covering every aspect of gardening you can think of. From the things you should think about in the spring to how to put your garden to bed in the fall you will find all kinds of tips and ideas for your garden in my archive of articles. I have arranged the articles into categories that make sense. Some of the categories deal with the practical aspects of seeds or catalogues, others are more about the esoteric aspects of crating outdoor living spaces and design.
I am always adding new pieces. I invite you explore the many topics I cover and return whenever you are looking to solve a problem or need a little inspiration and encouragement.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” background_animation=”none” css_animation=””][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]
