Folks who love home-made "yard art" or who grow plants that clash side-by-side, or who don't always roll up their garden hoses, or have neighbors who just don't get it...
Do you strive to blend the joys of cooking and gardening through inspired fruit and vegetable choices for your garden? Then this group is for you. There are thousands of fantastic foods that remain under the culinary radar, which are just a garden plot away from the table.
This group strives to share stories about fantastic fruit, vegetable and herbs, their culture and use. It is a forum for recipe swapping and general reverie in great underappreciated, or virtually unknown, garden heirlooms with unmatched appeal and flavor.
Every home and yard has the potential to become an urban homestead. Every family can discover the age old ways of the pioneers who learned how to live off the land instead of out of the store. Centuries of great ideas are unknown today, but through this group we'll rediscover how to grow, make or recycle all we can to live better on less. From the hardscrabble farms of the Ozarks to the California hippie communes, this is where the old may give and the young may learn. Perhaps together we'll get back to the basics of life.
This group was created to extol all things related to Botanical Gardens and Arboreta. It's for the hard working garden professionals that keep horticulture new, exciting and relevant at public gardens worldwide and for those that love to visit them. It serves to facilitate professional and social networking, idea sharing and general camaraderie.
The 4 Step First Garden is the ideal starter project for any family or individual, and this is the place to show and tell, ask and learn as the weeks go past. The garden is in a container so everyone can participate whether you grow on a fire escape or a rental home. Each week we take you step by step into the rewarding world of gardening which means you’ll eat healthier and more cheaply this summer. In the process you’ll learn important basics about containers, soil, plants, and how they interact over the weeks to come. These lessons apply to container gardens or in ground plots, so they’ll become the foundation for a healthy future of healthy organic home-grown food at your house.
The National Garden Clubs Garden Time online courses are designed to take gardeners to the next level of knowledge in the world of gardening. Join this group when you take a Garden Time course and post your comments and results to share with other course participants.

Every spring they pop up in all their glory: gorgeous bulbs that brighten up the blahness of a garden just coming out of winter. And every spring, as I stare out at my boring, bloomless front yard, I curse myself for not planting these beauties in fall. No more! I'm planting bulbs in my garden...and maybe even in a container or two. Who's with me?! Whether you're new to gardening or already have a healthy green thumb, if you love the idea of blooming bulbs in your garden, this is the group for you! Share tips and ideas on planting them, ask (or answer) questions, and show off your bulb accomplishments by posting pictures of your garden here!
Anyone can plant a few annuals in a container. It's what you do with that container that can turn an ordinary planting into a powerful garden accessory. Our patios, decks and gardens - even our gates and entryways - can be wonderful extensions of our homes if we plan creatively. Best of all, it doesn't have to cost a fortune! How do you accessorize your great outdoors? Let's share our ideas (and successes and failures) for decorating our outdoor garden spaces - from the small and simple to the big and bold!
