Gardening is a never ending education. Â No matter how long you have been a gardener a day or years, you will always learn something new and be challenged. Â The best place to learn is from other gardeners, people who are as passionate about growing and planting as you. Â I have been fortunate enough to be asked to join an on line group “The Garden Charmers“. Â A group of gardeners from all over, though most of the ladies are from Canada. Â We all are passionate about learning, and sharing so I asked the group to share how their last year went in the garden. Â The Good, Bad and Beautiful. Â Below is just a short snippet about each of their posts. Â Stop over at their blogs to learn more and get to know these wonderful ladies.
