Gardener’s Supplies & Resource Center

Whether you are a container gardener, a gardener looking for design tips, or seeking ways to thwart those pesky deer and rabbits, I’d love to share my resources with you. Why spend time and money testing unfamiliar products when I’ve already done that for you?

Many of these items are referenced in my blog posts as well as my online courses and I’ve separated them out into categories to make it easy for you to find what you need.

Looking for something else? Send me an email – I may have some ideas for you that I’ve just forgotten to include.

Disclaimer: some of these links go to affiliates, which means I earn a few pennies on each sale.
