Connecting with outdoor spaces whether cultivated or natural has been proven to increase feelings of well-being and contentment. That is something to which I can attest. Gardening is an exercise in delayed gratification and moments of delight. My Zone 7b garden beds are not perfect and are always a work in progress. I hope to share my gardening knowledge and experience to encourage you to in your gardening journey. Also, I hope to point you in the right direction science-based gardening info and research.
This may mean doing a little homework, acknowledging the reality of daily life and trying (a few times!)to find those plants you enjoy, whether it be perennials, trees, veggies, moss, succulents, or any and all plants. It has taken me a few years to recognize and acknowledge the moments of awesome that arise in a garden journey. They can be beautiful and serene or amazing and a little gross!
