Get your kids involved in the garden from seeds to harvest so they can see where real food comes from—from the garden to the table.

I’ve killed a fair number of plants. My mistakes helped me learn. If you have full sun, you can grow such fantastic plants. But shade gardens can be so lovely, too. Don’t worry. Just start. Plant what you love.

Garden beds put to bed till spring. Mulched and now covered with snow.

You never know where some plants will be happiest, so get out the shovel and relocate a perennial that didn’t perform like you wanted it to. Sometimes a plant just needs a bit more sun or shade, or its “feet” are too wet or dry. It’s best to do this in the spring or fall.

Planting a shrub or two provides height and substance to your garden space. These Quick Fire hydrangeas set blooms early in the summer and continue to bloom through the whole season, changing from white to wonderful ruby pink blossoms in the fall.

Lose yourself in your garden. Or is it find yourself in the garden?

Just keep planting.

Do not be afraid to trim your trees and bushes in your yard so that they don’t look like they are having bad hair days.

A vegetable garden is a sanctuary and a grocery store all in one.

Patience and constant loving attention to gardening is key. This enchanting dragon fly trusted me to get close as it rested peacefully on a canna bulb I planted in mid-May. The serenity of bringing a garden to life and watching all living creatures enjoy nature’s beauty brings me great joy!
