Spring Gardening: Your Green Thumb
Deirdre is nothing if not an extremely accomplished gardener in HRM. We know this not because she told us. But rather because we, together with a group of young budding gardeners (ages of 1-7yrs old), had the pleasure of plucking some vegetables out of her garden last summer.
The garden was vast, varied, creative and plentiful. Although Deirdre has a large yard, she had wonderful examples of gardening in well-economized spaces, as she shares with us below. The best part was definitely their backyard compost bin, yielding the purest, nutrient-filled soil, which they recycle into their garden. Find out how she did this, built raised beds and more, from the words she shared with CRUSISIS for our Spring Guide, linked below.

- Small Spaces &/or Container Gardening
- Build Your Own Raised Gardening Beds
Deirdre explained the gardening process to our young pupils one step at a time. She started them by planting their own seed. They ended with turning the compost heap with the leafy waste from the potatoes they’d picked and cleaned themselves. As Deirdre educated us about the gardening cycle, she kept it simple, showing us it’s easy to grow your own vegetables, herbs and even manage your own compost bin, no matter where you live.
Rumor has it we may hear a lot more gardening tips from Deirdre soon. So CRUSISIS will definitely keep you posted in our Summer Guide!
