After years of being on the waiting list, on 4 June 2011 I finally got a garden allotment (known as volkstuin in Dutch). It's just a 15-minute bike ride from home, at the back of an old Dutch dike - and has a little...

In the early spring the daffodils and tulips start to poke out of the ground...the 2 lilac bushes begin their blooms soon after. During mid-May, I begin to add veggie, herb, and annual plantings. Also, my parents bring...

Greetings from Herald, CA. Located just South East of Sacramento by 20 miles. Millions of grape vines cover the Herald landscape and vegetables grow well here with a good compost pile to nourish our Green Garden....

My garden is my art, literally. I grow plants so I can photograph them in new and interesting ways. There is such a variety of plants in the San Francisco Bay Area and I pluck not only from my yard, but along the trail...

The success of our gardening has been great, with some disappointments due to the learning curve. We are learning what we can do when we have 4 months of temperatures over 100 and no rain. Our soil is all sand! We...

I lived in Illinois my whole life until moving to Cheyenne in late 2011. I love to grow plants and try new things. Because of the climate and because I'm a renter, I will be doing mostly container plants this year....

Gardening is always on my mind. When I can't be in it, I'm thinking of it. Heirloom seeds with a story make me weak in the knees as well as old garden tools. We moved to our lil cottage in 2010 and have begun the garden...

Update: We just moved into a new farmhouse.  I'm hoping to make it a grand scale garden escape with fruit trees, vineyards, berry patches and flowers!  Can't wait to play in my garden for the next 20 years!I started...

Hi! I'm the Stone Cottage Farm Garden 2012! I was brand new two years ago when Farmer Dave and Farmer Christina broke new ground in what used to be the back farm yard. I'm hoping this year, now that they got their 2011...

About 6 years ago, we started on a journey to sustainability within the confines of our own urban 1/4 acre. Hence the dawning of The Yarden where we practice urban yardening. Each growing season we are adding, changing,...

We are going into our third season this year. Last year we had a good harvest but this year should be much better. We spent the first year trying to loosen the hard clay soil with a plow, peat, compost, leaves, straw,...

When I was in the 6th grade, we grew cherry tomatoes in styrofoam cups as part of an in-class science project. There was something amazing and magical about that little green sprout popping out of the dirt and my sixth-grade...

This garden is part of Franklin Park Community Garden in Tacoma, WA. I adopted and built up this part of the garden on an unusable space. It was full of 4 foot tall quack grass and weeds and 2/3 of it under water during...

Our garden has evolved slowly, as my daughters, my husband, and myself have explored and experimented with different planting strategies and cultivars.  Our home is on an 1/3 of an acre lot in East Lansing's Flower...

I feel like this is going to be my year in the garden. I go a little bigger every year and my soil just keeps getting better. Going to try canning, drying, and freezing  as much as I can. I start all my plants from...

It's only been a couple of years since I started gardening.  I enjoy planting different varieties of open pollinated and heirloom veggies.

Always trying to improve my garden in this Hot desert of Phoenix,Arizona!

In 2008 we moved to our home in the middle of one of Sacramento's oldest neighborhood. The backyard was overgrown and unkempt. We began the slow process of removing old dying trees and weeds. A shovel at a time we leveled...

We bought a fixer-upper sitting on a small lot.  The only thing the lot came with is a broken down house, garage and some big trees.  We have been transitioning our lot from a sad "lawn" to a lush landscape by growing...

We're trying to grow as much of our own food as we can. It's year 1 on this property. After an almost rainless winter, our small continuous harvest feels gratifying. But it's only the tip of the iceberg.
