Chicago Garden Events For Spring 2011

February in Chicago begs for some color and the hope of spring.  Here are some events you can attend for a reprieve from the grey, and for ideas on ornamental and edible gardening.

Welcome

Hi, and welcome to my gardening blog. I am a garden consultant and coach in the Chicagoland area.  This blog will allow me to share information, tips, resources, and photos of all things garden related.  I'll also note local events and my experiences with gardening in the ground and in containers, edible and ornamental.  And I'll post the occasional musing on what gardening and nature mean to me.  I hope you'll find it enjoyable, helpful, and occasionally amusing - preferably when intended.  Here's to a new gardening year!
