This is a stress-free gardening zone (seriously)
We don't break our backs with unnecessary gardening chores.
Instead, we create a plan and choose low-maintenance plants so we don’t need to fight to “make it work.”
We don't buy exotic plants that can't grow in our garden.
We don’t set ourselves up for failure and only pick plants that will grow and thrive in our conditions.
We believe that gardening is good for the soul.
Gardening should be fun, relaxing and creative. If it’s not… why should we bother?
