Start simple… Don’t allow your gardening project to become something that wears you out. It would be better to start a small gardening project – a single flowerpot or just a window box – and find refreshment and enjoyment in this experience rather than getting burned out because your first attempt was too much to handle.

If you are just starting to garden, it might be fun and helpful to connect with someone who has experience with these matters. The Louisiana Master Gardener Program could be a local resource for people who love to garden and would love to share their hobby with you. what, enjoy the journey!
