I have always wanted a garden. Ever since I was a little girl, I have been fascinated with them and was determined that at some point in my life I would have a garden. After we decided to homeschool, the desire grew even more.
I’m so excited that our new house has a garden plot already started and I cannot wait to get my hands dirty and start planting! I am also excited about the real-life lessons we can teach our kids while we’re gardening. In anticipation of our new garden and all we will learn, I have gathered some great resources here for you today!
