No matter the type of garden, anything is possible. The sky is truly the limit. I have been gardening with my grandma since I was a kid and am thrilled to now share this priceless experience with my children.
Family Garden
We make time to help Gram in the yard as often as possible. From fruits and vegetables to jungle-worthy flowers, she grows it all. She has such a knack for all living things… Creatures and flora thrive in her presence. Plus, she is a big fan of Miracle-Gro. If plants could get fat, well, she’d have an obese garden!
Summers are the best because when everything is in full bloom, her yard is like a luscious paradise. I love watching the kids run around and play amongst all the life. You would never guess that we are just an hour south of Chicago!
My favorite memory from last summer is of when my daughter, Chesney, saw Gram’s enormous hibiscus flowers. She put her face into all of them and kept cracking up because they were as big as her head! The resulting smiles will last forever.

Miracle Gro really works and I use it to grow all of my tomatoes. I love garden fresh tomatoes and I used to grow a lot of stuff, but all I grow now is strawberries and tomatoes.

We have lots of different gardens. I have a vegetable garden, a few herb gardens, fruit trees & berries. This year, we are enlarging our flower gardens too.

Wow those are the biggest hibiscus I have ever seen! I love the way they smell, too. Reminds me of Hawaii.

I love having a family garden because it serves many purposes. It not only teaches my kids about nature, and healthy food, but it also provides ambiance, and a nice place for the bees!

We do love to garden together. Planting is fun but messy…and so rewarding. It’s fun to plant with kids because at some point, random things start growing all over your property and you have to laugh…

I love having a little garden. I am not very good at doing it myself, but my family is awesome at helping out.

Those hibiscuses are lovely! As someone who lived in Northern IL, you’re right, you wouldn’t guess that they such lush flowers can grow there! I guess it takes the power of someone with a green thumb and some extra help in the form of Miracle-Gro! I wish we had the same luck where my family lives now. Miracle-Gro might help us out, but our poor plants have deal with a lot of sun exposure!
