I am a gardening nut living in sunny southern California. I am self-taught, meaning I've made a lot of bad plant choices in the past several years and undoubtedly will do so again! But I love the whole process of planning, creating, maintaining, and then changing.

I like the garden look/style I call, "Cottage-Wild-Yet Tamed." For my So.Cal. house type, this translates to a Mediterranean, English-cottage garden. Heat tolerant plants to create a cottage style garden look.
