My Favorite TV channel is Home and Garden TV. It stands to reason, then, that I would add a page to my site called Best Gardens.
I am a gardener at heart. I have loved to garden since I was a little girl. I even had a business in Australia where I sold house plants in a gift shop.
I’m happiest and the most peaceful when I am digging in the dirt.
These best gardens are found on gardening blogs all over the web. Some of the inspiration for them comes from Pinterest.
Some I get from searching Google and other search engines. You will find pictures of a single perfect flower and complicated tutorials about how to build an elaborate greenhouse.
Searching the Web for Best Gardens and Gardening Ideas
Here are some of my favorite gardening ideas and creations. Many of these are creative gardening DIY projects. Others are images of gardening landscape or flower bed tutorials, and some are just neat gardening tips and tricks ideas that I have found.
The only criteria for the ideas, for me, is that they inspire me, and make me want to go outside and work on my own garden.
The page is updated almost daily, so be sure to check back often. If you find a best gardening idea that you like, just click on the link below the image to go to the website for instructions or more inspiration
Grab a cup of coffee, relax and wander through my gardens of earthly delights. And remember, In every gardener there is a child who believes in The Seed Fairy. ~Robert Brault.
If you have a gardening blog and would like to be included on this page, please drop me an email and I will consider your garden ideas. I can’t print share all but will give your site consideration.
