I have enjoyed gardening for as long as I can remember. Now that I have my own home, I am enjoying turning every space possible into some sort of garden.
I like to grow anything edible (especially edible flowers) and have an ongoing interest in herbs and their medicinal qualities.
I have a new-found interest in heirloom seeds and seed saving. My grand plan is to eventually have a garden exclusively full of heirloom plants. Also, I am starting my own seed bank which I plan on passing down to my son. (Hopefully he will enjoy gardening as much as I do!)
Currently, I am enrolled in the Master Gardener program to better my gardening skills.
