About Me

GardenMom
Hello, I am a 35-year old Mom from central Iowa. I live with my husband and our 5 kids. We were blessed with a new addition to our family this last winter, and became a family of 7. I am flexitarian, if you will...I try to only eat meat if I know where it came from and under what conditions it was raised. I love to garden, hence the name, I love canning, cooking, preserving of all kinds. I love reading and hanging out with my family, and I love talking seeds and plants with other gardeners.
