Get Growing! Gardening Tips for Beginners
5 Fear-Conquering Tips For First Time Gardeners
We're heading outside this week and we invite you to come along! The dawn of spring always inspires us to get outdoors and make use of our green space, even if it's just a small container on the balcony. Still, gardening can seem so daunting for a first timer. Never fear, that's what we're here for! We've rounded up some of our recent posts to help you dive into the dirt and come up smelling like roses. 
15 Repurposed Planters: Just Add Dirt
When you see so many pictures of productive gardens in big backyards, it's easy to forget that gorgeous gardens also happen in small yards and surprising places. These 15 repurposed planters remind us that you don't need a lot of space and new materials to start growing your own garden; all you need is a little bit of ingenuity and resolve.

How To Start a Compost Heap
Many of us recycle and reuse, but there's something vaguely intimidating about making the move to composting. I'll admit that I was guilty of hesitation, worrying about the smelliness of the endeavor and never entirely sure of what can and can't be composted in the first place. But after a bit of investigation and minimal effort, I've realized that composting is really easy, affordable, useful, and sustainable.

I'd always heard that gardening is good exercise, but as a grownup, my "yard" consisted of a few potted plants on a concrete patio, so I never gave the idea much thought. Then we moved to a house with front and back lawns, plus a whole lot of weed-choked landscaping. As spring finally surfaces in Seattle, I'm experiencing what I can only describe as backyard boot camp.
