Hooked on Gardening

One of my closest friends, Karessa, has always told me how much she loves working in the yard and in her garden. I never understood why until this past week during our spring break. Joel & I decided to create some curb appeal to our house (since there was none).

Thanks to our wonderful Sunday School leaders, Scott & Dee, we were able to help plan out what shrubs we wanted in the front of our house. They were so helpful in figuring out which ones would work well on that side of the house. One afternoon they came over and we drove around the area to look at various shrubs to see which ones we liked.

Then we planned it all out and stopped by Hughes Plant Farm in S. Tyler off of 69. Instead of buying expensive plants at Lowe's or Home Depot, we bought them for 1/2 the price @ Hughe's!! We did buy one plant @ Lowe's and that was a beautiful hydrangea.

Over 2 days, we worked our butts off creating flower beds and planting some beautiful shrubs!! We're now hooked onto gardening and can't wait to tackle the backyard this summer!! Now let's hope we can keep them alive even through the hot TX summer!!

As always, Eloise
