We are Denise and La Mar Shepherd and we are so happy to connect with you and share what we have learned about gardening on a budget. Since moving to our house on the lake in the middle of the city, we have learned a ton about native plants and their impact on the environment. What we have learned from our friends has changed our methods. We also strive to use natural ( think environmentally friendly) substances and re-purposed tools to combat unwanted weeds and non-native invaders of the leafy and insect-variety.
