How Does Your Garden Grow | Ronald, JeffVanderLou

WHY DO YOU GARDEN?

I garden because it's therapeutic and it allows me to escape the real world. I started gardening back in 2008 as a hobby and it soon turned into a passion. The benefits of gardening is it increases my emotional well-being.

DO YOU HAVE ANY TIPS OR TRICKS FOR GARDENING?

The only trick I have is when I'm in the yard gardening I love to listen to James Brown greatest hits and the plants and trees seem respond well.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING TO PLANT?

When it comes to plants one of my favorites are the Giant Phlox. (pictured above)

My plan Spring 2021 is to build and Herb Garden.
