I saw the thumbnail for this video and thought "hey…I recognize that yard!" I love everything Cynthia does.
Such an informative and fun video with a charismatic gardener!
This was fun to watch and so informative. Great idea these edible landscapes!
I'm in Tooele, I'm itching to get my starts out. If we didn't have so many deer I'd have a front yard neighborhood garden.
Such good ideas! Great content!
