A virtual garden club for those of us who grow our own.

Carol Michel, Mary Ann Newcomer and I are starting a virtual garden club for everyone growing their own food, flowers or herbs this summer. It’s a fun club. There are no rules except if you grab the badge, please link it back to this page. Here, I will list everyone joining us for our summer adventure of growing our food, flowers and herbs. You are welcome to post once a month if you want. We’d love to see what you’re growing.

Thanks for joining in.

Carol Michel is a lifelong gardener and resident of Indiana. She has a degree in Horticulture from Purdue University and has written for Horticulture and Indiana Gardening magazines and The Southside Times newspaper published in Indianapolis. She is an avid reader and collector of old gardening books and claims to have the largest hoe collection in the world. She regularly writes about her old books, hoes, and many other topics on her garden blog, May Dreams Gardens, home of Garden Bloggers Bloom Day, and has a regular monthly column, Musings from May Dreams Gardens, on Women’s Voices Magazine.
