"Gardening is for everyone. Whether you have a balcony full of plants or a full-scale vegetable garden, gardeners at every level are encouraged to explore, experiment and learn from their experiences. By sharing her own journey into gardening, the author provides information a novice gardener needs to have a firm beginning knowledge of gardening skills. What began for her as a childhood hobby has become an obsession focused on shade gardening and propagation of succulents. The need to remember details about specific plants and recall last year's observations has led to the development of a chest full of tools for the intentional gardener. Such tools include space to design your garden-scape and plan steps to implement that plan, a weather tracker, and most importantly Plant Information Forms. These Plant Information Forms provide a place to gather and organize information on every plant in your garden, keeping pertinent information at your fingertips. Welcome on the Journey into the World of Gardening."
