I was motivated to begin this blog by a friend of mine who told me that I was her only friend our age that had a garden and could keep things alive. That's not saying much, but after thinking about it I didn't know many other friends who spent time on their yard or “gardened” either. This is probably because in your 20's girls don’t tend to be focused on that sort of thing. But for me it is a way to escape the stress of day to day life and just play in the dirt. A garden can be changed relatively easily and quickly to suit your mood or changing tastes without much disruption, and for someone as indecisive as me this is an exquisite trait to find in a hobby. It’s therapeutic for me, and it’s only slightly less expensive than attending actual therapy sessions.
This page is for girls (and boys) like me who like pretty things, but don't exactly have a green thumb. Gardening has always been a way for me to get outside and create something beautiful with my hands. I hope that people can share pictures of their gardens here, and we can help each other find new plants that are our favorites and can thrive wherever we live. Please visit often, and share your comments, photos, and tips.
