Gardening life brings beauty and connection but also puts us in absurd situations. And brings whacky people into our lives.

This is our place to poke fun at them and ourselves while sharing wisdom.

I’m a professional horticulturist who’s worked in public gardens. I’m also a country boy, now a middle-aged gay man who lives in the rural, conservative South.

Meet my friends: proper garden clubbers, farm fellas, college interns, total plant freaks, academic botanists, and self-taught house plant lovers. Through their sparkling rainbow of quirks, we’ll explore how-to garden lessons as well as how we all find solace and community through nurturing plants.
