A Day in the Life with Hazel Gardiner
Flower Discoveries: The Mystery Mimosa
Did you know that there is a nonprofit that connects gardeners across the United States with heirloom and rare seed (both flowers and veggies!)? Bascially, you share seeds from plants you’ve grown with another gardener or farmer and they share some they’ve grown with you. You also have the ability to purchase seed directly from other farmers! Cool, right? Find out more here.
