Gardening
During the spring, summer, and fall, I spend my days working with the plants in my yard. My favorite part is being creative in showcasing the plants while I learn more about what makes each flora thrive. During the winter I tend my greens through the dark days and spending time caring for my plants fills me with much happiness.
