A Workshed for Plant People
Spring is Spring-ing and being able to see my perennials growing in my gardens is what inspired this post. I asked myself what kind of place I would love to have to pot my plants, store my garden supplies, and nurse some dying plants back to life.
While I don’t live in a place with a yard large enough to actually have a workshed, it was still lots of fun to design a dream green space!
