FROM THE EDITOR

Southern Lady FAVORITES

SEEDS OF WISDOM • To plant a garden is to partner with Mother Nature, working alongside her to create a beautiful display of foliage, fruits, and blooms. Yet, especially for those who lack a “green thumb,” the intricacies of the task must be learned over time, and the wisdom of experienced gardeners is an invaluable tool. We asked our readers to offer their hard-won insights to those who are just beginning. Here, we share practical reflections and enduring principles that seek to equip any gardener with the ability to create a thriving Eden.
