Gardening is a yearlong activity that keeps our creative juices flowing and our living spaces natural and beautiful. It makes going green seem doable, easy and fun.
We sent out a call to action to get your hands dirty and to show us the wonderful things you were doing in your gardens. Here’s what some people got up to in the #LetsGardenSA quest.
