For the love of gardening.

Gardening in Florida can be an awesome yet challenging experience. This is why I’ve cultivated knowledge to share.  My blogs, photos and videos are created to help plant owners explore and grow. I’ve found that sharing my experiences (both good and bad) has been a great way to connect and empower our community. Happy gardening!

Location

Coastal Central Florida

My garden is located on the coast of Central Florida, in hardiness zone 9b. Most of my garden tips and advice is influenced and based on my area but I do my very best to include ideas relevant to those who live in the South or love gardening.

 
The love of gardening is a seed
once sown that never dies.
