Creating a garden is part art, part science.

There are plenty of resources that can teach you how to garden, but just like books can’t teach you how to make beautiful art, creating beautiful gardens requires a teacher and a willing canvas.

Fortunately for the aspiring horticulturist, many artful gardeners are passionate about their work and are willing to share their knowledge.

If you live in the same neighborhood as one, talking with an experienced gardener can help you to learn about plants that thrive in the local climate and soil as well as those that don’t.

They may even share plants that they are dividing, if you’re lucky!

In the end, gardening is like any other hobby and the best advocates are the people that are “into it”. It’s easy to spot them — they live in the homes with artful landscaping.
