Seasonal Living Resources

I love gardening and often tell people I don't really know what I'm doing, I just love playing in the dirt. I remember my first garden. It was in a tiny box planter off the patio in my townhouse. I grew my own spinach, strawberries, and green beans. I was hooked ever since. Fast forward 20 years and I have finally upgraded to a fenced space space 30' long and 23' wide. I have 8 Vego Garden Beds and here I share all the details so you can build your own!

Use this document all year to generate meaningful ideas so you too can have a magical Holiday season.
