Here’s What New Gardeners Are Saying

“Gail came to my aid when I felt hopeless about having a garden at all. We went over in detail my gardening habits, what plants I wanted to grow, and possibly why they weren't thriving. I went from a depressing balcony space to a lush blooming space for the entire summer season! The easy, common sense tips that Gail taught me have helped me achieve success with indoor plants also!”

“I met Gail when I was working as a cashier at a garden center in Massachusetts. I told her that I had a BIG love for outdoor blooming plants, but just could not keep them alive! I was ok with houseplants, but I think because I forgot about them ...alot! She came to my house with a compass of all things! I asked her what it was for, and was told to figure out my sun exposure! From there, on, I stopped “over-thinking” so much and learned to think of a plant as a fellow living thing with simple needs. Since then, my yard has exploded with color for three seasons, and my houseplants have turned my house into a jungle!”
