As we tip toe into a chilly 2017, we wish you a very happy new year and share our gratitude for your generous support in 2016. Just five years ago, our trio met at a garden writers’ conference and decided to begin blogging about gardening in the Midwest. We’ve covered new plant introductions, new books, gardening tips, destination gardens, landscape trends and issues of the heart. Thanks to all who have explored our blog, offered comments and contributed to our collaboration in so many ways. We wish you all the best in 2017 and share these 2016 favorites to inspire your gardening in the coming year.
