3 Steps to becoming a better gardener

With the New Year fresh upon us, now’s the time to set some goals for improving our gardening experience in 2020Building your garden skills and knowledge is a life-long process. Regardless of your age or gardening experience, it’s important to keep learning. Three ways to accomplish is by taking gardening classes, joining a local garden club and finding someone to mentor you along your gardening journey.  


Consider joining Hoe and Hope Garden Club, a well-established local organization whose membership includes all levels of gardening experience. Attending Hoe and Hope meetings affords you the opportunity to learn from individual members and participate in community projects throughout the year. You can learn more about Hoe and Hope by following this link: http://hoeandhopegardenclub.com/.  


Plan to take some gardening classes. At The Flower Bin, we offer classes in the spring and fall. As a matter of fact, our first class for 2020 is on Saturday, January 18. There’s no charge for our class, but we do ask you to register for each one. You can find more about this class and others by stopping in the store or visiting our website at https://www.theflowerbin.net/home-decor.  


Find a garden mentor. A garden mentor is someone with the training, knowledge and experience to help you make good decisions when it comes to planting, growing and harvesting your crops. This could be a neighbor, a friend or relative that you can bounce garden questions and ideas off of. Avail yourself of all the resident knowledge at The Flower Bin. Internet research is just a click away, but it’s important to realize that all the information on the web may not be applicable here. Sign up for our e-mail, follow our blog, connect with us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Bring your specific plant and garden questions to Diagnostic Desk. You can be confident the advice and information you receive will work in your garden.
