What got you into gardening in the first place?
I think - when we bought our first house.
I started looking after the garden and then gardening evolved.
My parents are vegetable and flower gardeners.
I always liked growing things - but my first real garden - came with our first house.

What about you?

Hello folks!
New to the forum but very excited to be here! My fiancé and I are approaching 30 and have been chasing contract work across Canada since graduating but are finally looking to buy a home in the next year. We’ve been doing a lot of research regarding our future urban greenspace (zone 4b) and thankfully stumbled across this forum!
We’ll certainly have lots of questions as we start to develop ideas - neither of us have had the opportunity to plant our green thumbs yet - but we hope to be able to contribute to the community more as time goes on.
Thank you very much for establishing this space and looking forward to asking/posting high level questions soon!

Welcome GrowingGreenThumbs!
Zone 4b - short growing season!
Are you thinking veggies, flowers, or a mix?
