Get Busy Gardening

I remember when I first started gardening, nature was seriously my least favorite thing about it.  I especially hated ALL of the bugs, with their annoying buzzing and creepy crawling. Even the good ones totally freaked me out! It sounds crazy to me now, but back then I thought I had to control every aspect

Here’s something I learned the hard way after years of frustrating trial and error: It’s much easier to prevent problems before they start than it is to fight them after they pop up in your garden. Because once bugs, weeds, and diseases do show up in your garden, it’s very difficult to get rid of

When I first started gardening, I spent years struggling to make everything work and painstakingly figuring it all out on my own by trial and error. Through it all, I just kept thinking, “There has GOT to be a better way!”. So I created one. I call it my 3 Pillars of a Healthy Garden.

If you asked me what finally helped me turn my struggling garden into a thriving one, I’d tell you it was when I started treating it like an ecosystem. That one small shift completely changed the way I garden, and it took me years of trial and error to figure it out on my own....
