Life is like a garden – always growing and always changing. Both are full of joys and sorrows, successes and struggles, questions and answers. And like a garden, the more it is nurtured, the more it thrives. The same can be said about a home, a family, a business, and a community. Let the garden teach you life lessons, let it bring you joy, and let it comfort you.

This website is intended to offer ideas, tips, perspective, and inspiration to help your garden grow. It is also here to share appreciation for God’s creation. Every petal, every dew drop, every breeze, and every word is a gift from God. We hope to share some of His inspiration here.

After a lifetime of working in the gardening industry, I wish to share my passion for plants and all things in nature. I’ve had many teachers through these years, from my customers and fellow gardening enthusiasts to the school of hard knocks. There is nothing like experience to teach lessons. I hope you enjoy reading the blogs, sign up for the newsletter, listen to a podcast, follow “The Garden Spot” radio show, and check out the garden tours and other gardening events. Send me your gardening questions. I’d love to hear from you.

Remember, when life challenges you, go to the garden. The answers await you there.
