There are many ways to start gardening and many tips online.  At A Front Porch View we believe in the K.I.S.S. approach (Keep It Simple, Stupid) as we believe that gardens should be as nature intended them (to some extent) and that this kind of work has to always be fun, not stressful.

As such we have put together this site to help you get on your way, but we also want you to enjoy reading our blog. Thus we are attempting to make it colorful, easy-to-read and sometimes even humorous.

As Richard Briers once infamously said: “a garden is a thing of beauty and a job forever,” and that’s what we believe too.  With a little bit of effort (which by the way is most fulfilling) your garden can become your palace…and even provide wonderful nutrition for you and your family!
