This is Day 265  of the Green in 365 series! By Hilary of  Accidentally Green, Contributing Writer  Until last year, I only thought of gardening as a spring and summer possibility.

Life Lessons from My Yard and Garden

  This is Day 181 of the Green in 365 series! Do you ever have great ideas and plans in your mind, but they don't play out in your life the way that you want or expect? Or you look at your life and think, "This isn't quite what I had in mind!" I do this a lot in my life. In the big, overall picture of my life. And also in the small projects that I just don't have the time and energy to complete the way I would like to. Take our front yard and garden for instance. When … [Read more...]

  This is Day 127 of the Green in 365 series! By Kim from The Soulicious Life I hate to waste, I love to garden, and yet I only started composting last spring.

How to Create a Living Centerpiece

  This is Day 92 of the Green in 365 series! By Renee from Joyful Mom: When my son was just an infant a Mom friend came over to visit. She looked with wide eyes at my very small table with a center piece of freshly picked flowers in a thrift store vase, resting on a hand embroidered doily--"you will NEVER be able to have a table like that when your kid gets older!" That moment stayed with me. It worried me. Would I really need to give up a simple yet beautiful table when … [Read more...]

This is Day 86 of the Green in 365 series!

  This is Day 70 of the Green in 365 series!

I had no idea that I had such a wealth of healing growing in my yard all this time. I didn't end up making the … [Read more...]
