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