Blogging Is Fun!

Looking for an alternative to HGTV and garden magazines?  Want to see real gardens, and talk to real gardeners from all over the world? Go to my garden blog “The Blogging Nurseryman”. Here you will find discussions and pictures of gardens that you will never see in any glossy magazine. These are real gardeners and real gardens just like you. We talk about the joys and frustrations of gardening, as well enjoying the community of gardeners that is growing everyday on the internet. Once you’re at my blog click some of the other garden blogs I have listed on the side. “Garden Rant”, “Gardening 4 Dummies”, “The Inadvertent Gardener’, “Gardening While Intoxicated’, “This Garden is Illegal” (not what you think), "Snappy’s Garden Blog” and “Millertime’ are some of the clever names these gardeners have come up with for their blogs. These blogs cover many states, as well as Australia and Great Britain.   

The greatest thing about blogging is a chance to communicate with other gardeners that are just like you. Some are experts, while others have just started gardening. I have found garden blogs to be more useful in my gardening than any garden magazine or TV show. So what keeping you from checking it out? Get Blogging!
