Becoming a Gardener-on my Bucket List Forever

I grew up with a mom, grandma, and auntie who were all amazing gardeners. I thought it would be something that I would naturally inherit. Flower gardens, vegetable gardens and trees of all kinds bring me great JOY. I love being outdoors and I love gardening….BUT my life is VERY FULL of relationships that require my time. I therefore have not been very successful at keeping my garden as beautiful as I would like it to be.

God has graciously given me two friends who are FANTASTIC gardeners-one by training (she is a Master Gardener) and one by experience (she could literally run a nursery business out of her home). So I have been given the gift of consultation and time. Both of these amazing friends have offered to help me repent my borders and help me redesign my backyard. I couldn’t be more excited. I love watching talented people share their expertise and passions especially when they align with my interests and my passions.

We went to a spectacular Nursery to see many varieties of plants that would do well in my yard. We have had a few planning sessions and in a few weeks we will drive back up to a fabulous nursery and buy the plants. I am outrageously excited!!!

So if you have a dream and you have friends who have a gift for something you want to learn about….tap their resources, enjoy the blessing of friendship and you just may be able to have a dream Bucket List item come true!!!!

Here are some of the beautiful plants we plan to buy and plant in my backyard.

 Here is my faithful friend who is helping me with my garden…Here are my new pruning shears. Here is the back corner where we will begin our project.  Dreams and friendship come together to fulfill a forever Bucket List item for me!!!
