Hi! I'm Tessa,
I started my gardening journey 4 yrs ago thinking it would be nice and easy. I grew up with my mom who is a gardening whiz and a grandfather 95 yrs young still gardening like a boss. Well, I was very wrong. I learnt quickly there is an art to gardening. My first two years failed growing nothing but some potatoes. After those failed seasons, I decided to study, learn from some professionals, ask lots of questions to my mama and figure this gardening thing out.
My third year was a garden success. I had fruitful harvests, my husband went from sceptical to taking progress pictures and building me trellis's. I became filled with such pride and excitement while finding a sense of peace within my gardens.
I have been married 17 yrs and am in the middle of raising three busy, wonderful teenagers. We live in Alberta, Canada where the winters are long and cold and the summers never seem long enough.
There is a mindset around gardening in Alberta and I am here to teach and show, even through our short summer seasons we can grow successfully for many months.
