7 Easy Indoor Gardening Ideas for Beginners
Do you want to garden indoors but aren’t sure how? Wait until you see these indoor gardening ideas for beginners. Turn those black thumbs green with these indoor gardening tips.
I was an outdoor gardener long before I found success as an indoor gardener.
It took me several years to figure out and understand how to translate my outdoor gardening skills indoors.
When my kids were very young, I started dabbling with indoor plants and had very little success.
Looking back, I was choosing the wrong plants for me and overcared for them to boot!
