Welcome to The Garden Path, where we share gardening tips, ideas, and memories. We believe that gardening is good for our souls, our well being and certainly our stress level!  Whether you grow a few pots of herbs on your windowsill or maintain a large garden in the country, you are a gardener. Share your garden favorites or ask questions in our Garden Forum.
