Advice from the Owner
We took the plot plan from our garden in a box kit and just started planting and hoped for the best! We have two young kids and busy schedules so we did the best we could with the time we had. We planted a few plants each day and got through it. We had patchy grass that wasn't growing right before and we are so happy with the change. The second season after planting, all of our plants came back, bloomed and looked beautiful! We're surprised it worked with the little experience we have, but are happy it did! We are still trying to learn how to best take care of our plants but thankfully they're beginner-friendly!
