TL Sal's Profile

I'm 36 and I'm an obsessed home gardener. But I wasn't interested in gardening until about only 4 years ago. I had to wait until my kids got out of the baby and toddler stages before I realized I had this passion and a little free time to engage in it. I try to think of gardening as just part of a general interest in nature, environment, and wildlife. I educate myself, which takes a lot of time, and I make loads of mistakes. I network like crazy, in order to learn from others and to trade plants (I have no gardening budget). Most of the gardeners I know are older women, but there are growing numbers of younger adults getting involved. Interest is slowly growing, and I think social media will help it along, especially facebook and pinterest.
