Your First Garden

By Candida Eittreim

Introduction

Who can garden? YOU can! Yes, you! There is no such thing as a black thumb. The secret to successful gardening lies in understanding the microclimate of your garden space, and a little planning. Learning what your soil consists of and how to amend it will start you on your way to having a healthy garden. All the lessons in this course will build up your skills and confidence in planning and maintaining your personal garden. We'll work through the basics of designing a garden, trees and shrubs, annuals, perennials and more. There are great books and helpful links to gardening sites, which will help increase your knowledge. My goal is to provide you with the very best tools to become a relaxed and competent gardener.
