“Hey there, Garden Nerd! Before you start chatting about your prize tomatoes or mysterious lettuce pests, let’s make sure we’re all on the same compost heap… in a good way. 🌱

 

These are the friendly rules that keep our community blooming.”

Keep posts and discussions relevant to gardening, planting, and related topics. This includes the Bay Area microclimate, seasonal tips, and plant care.

​
