    Welcome! This is the friendliest, kindest, and most knowledgeable bunch of people you'll ever meet! We love to help new gardeners, experienced gardeners, and answer any questions posed.
    In a way, we are all "new to gardening" because we are learning each day. You are starting out on such a grand green adventure!

    Thank you, everyone, for such a lovely welcome! After looking at several other gardening forums, I chose GardenStew because it did indeed seem like the friendliest one.

    My favorite type of garden contains lots of flowers. It can be so beautiful and alive with activity. That being said, however, the garden currently contains flowers, an herb or two, several oleander bushes and one Crepe Myrtle tree.

    My husband is the one who dug up the mess that was the previous 'garden' and carefully planned and planted everything that's now there. I am, at this point, more of a 'weeder' and not a gardener. More in another post.
