From a young woman named Amanda who was introduced to our website link in 2019 via a connection with one of our members. She used our resources pages to research and then started a garden with her mother. Amanda has really taken to gardening and has become quite an avid gardener. She has been growing some herbs over the fall and winter, and continues doing a lot of research in her computer time, learning more about different plants and flowers and the care they require.  We received feedback from her how helpful our Resources page was and she wanted to share another good resource with us!”
