At the age of 18, I embarked on a ca ..read more

Happy first day of spring everyone! If you know me then you know about my love for gardening, what you may not know is that I am also an herbalist who loves plants. Every year I find myself acquiring more pots and planters for my ever-growing collection. The only issue with the planters and pots I’ve accumulated is that they are placed on my porch and sometimes are out of reach. Unfortunately, as a result they often remain unused and tend to break. I usually focus my attention toward the plants growing on the windowsills within my porch, and tending to my kiddie-pool garden beds because they ..read more
