Early Praise for Cheap Tricks Gardening

Lisa’s vast knowledge of plants and the best way to grow them is a blessing to my garden every year. I appreciate her great skill in seeing the big picture. I’m thankful that she generously shares her tips and tricks to make my gardening passion a fun and affordable hobby!

—Angie

I didn’t know much about flower gardening before discovering Midwest Garden Gal. Lisa has helped me realize that my thumb is greener than I thought! Her extensive knowledge of which plants do well in specific locations and conditions is a big help. Couple that with her wonderfully fun and informative way of communicating and you’ve got a great garden coach on your side.

—Todd
