Don’t worry - you don't need to have the "perfect" garden or know “everything” about gardening! What I’ve learned is that Mother Nature and children only need a willing "grown-up gardener" (that’s us) to work alongside of them.

In the Garden with Grandma is a place where together we can harness the power of plants to transform the lives of the ones we love!
