With the arrival of spring 2009 along with my new camera, I've learned that I have way more I want to share about my garden and landscape than most of my readers at Inside The White House would care to know. So here is a spot where I can write about my gardening efforts, and hopefully I'll have some insights to share too. In my childhood, people thought it was funny to recite the nursery rhyme question to me, so I guess this is my answer to "How does your garden grow?" I am in no way a professional. I have simply discovered a love for making my yard beautiful. It's a work in progress; I have the end results in my head, but time and financial restraints are delaying that finale. (It turns out kids take a lot of time too!) I'm coming to learn that I don't want to reach a gardening finale. I love the work and I love trying new plants and new techniques every year. I hope you enjoy this site and I would love your comments about your own garden. This blog will also serve as a journal of the plants in my gardens and the care they require. Feel free to skip over all the boring species' names and plant care. If you have questions, leave them for me or a fellow reader to offer help. Thanks for visiting my garden!
Some tips for navigating this blog: You can find areas of interest by following the category labels listed at the right. If you simply scroll through everything, it will be pretty random, but it will allow you to see what I'm currently up to. You can also use the search bar at the top to look for specific plants or structures to see how I've used them.
