Favorite Garden Tip :I think the biggest tip I can give for gardening is to pay attention to where your garden is in relation to the sun. Once you figure out the sunlight just find the plants that speak to you and make sure you plant them in the appropriate spot. And I always try to pick native plants that balance the local ecological system. It makes for an easier garden that brings birds, butterflies and other creatures to admire
