January in the Garden

One of my big goals for the year ahead is to reactivate this blog and return to sharing monthly gardening tips inspired by the rhythms of my own landscape. After a whirlwind of travel, teaching, and home projects, it feels good to carve out space again for thoughtful, practical garden guidance.

Each month, I’ll break things down into simple, actionable tasks to help you stay on track through every season here in North Carolina. You’ll see tips aligned with what I’m doing in my own garden and what I’m sharing on BrieGrows.com and the Brie the Plant Lady YouTube channel.

How Compost is Made

Recently I had another chance to visit the Soil³ Compost & Sod Farm in Georgia and share the experience with my young horticulture companions who I travelled with for 2 weeks. Neither of them had ever visited a facility that produced compost on a mass scale, so, I knew this stop on our 2,500-mile adventure was going to be special.

Gardening with Grains book reading

In the spirit of celebrating gardening books, here is a a reading from the introduction of Gardening with Grains. T was writing this book a year ago at this time. I had no idea what the future would hold. Growing grains was just a passion project for me.

Now, life has changed, FAST. And grains are going to become more important than ever for the global population. I hope this will inspire you to consider growing something a bit unusual, practical all the same.
