As a DIY Gardener, I have had as many failures as successes. Gardening is not an exact science. What works for one batch of soil might not work for another. That’s where hardy plants come in.

Plant them once and reap the rewards for years.

The second thing I did was build a DIY compost bin! I love the idea of reusing food waste; it keeps it out of the landfill, and my plants will absolutely love the rich soil! I know there are tons of pre-made compost bins that you can buy from a hardware store, but I had specific ideas about how I wanted mine to work, so I built my own!

So, I’m not really very good at styling shelves, or measuring distances for photo frames, or even finishing spaces.

Yesterday we were finally blessed with a stunningly clear, sunny, and beautiful fall day.
After a record amount of rainfall in the past month it was such a treat.
It reminded me of all the things that I love about Fall.
And taking family walks through the forest around our house is one of the things I love to do in the Fall.
My youngest son and I recently collected some twigs on a walk around the neighbourhood forest area…
