The Garden's Gift, The Zen of GardeningResource For Low Impact, Sustainable Gardening - SV ReviewGarden's Gift creator Nancy's husband Harlan, publisher of The Green Cutting Board described it as a resource for low impact, natural gardening. aka sustainable. Nancy describes The Gardens's Gift as an informational website dedicated to the Zen of Gardening. And it's all of that. Being an obsessive gardener, I'm always delighted to meet others - it's not an exclusive club. Probably Nancy doesn't think of herself as obsessive though! 
I spent two pleasant and profitable hours following up the links on The Garden's Gift, and following up links from those links. Now I know where to buy old fashioned wood stoves and no-electicity gas ranges, online. There was gardening stuff at Lehman's, but I never got to it. I also have a list of shade-tolerant flowering and fruiting shrubs to plant a living fence in place of the ugly chain link fence I just pulled down. Nancy seems to be a friendly soul who loves gardening, and wants to share knowledge and bliss with other gardeners. Many gardening sites are dry and academic, or intimidating, or just want to sell me lots of expensive stuff. This one is simple and unassuming, low key. Advertising is there, but doesn't intrude. Wonderful pictures and stories - I loved the one about the turtle rescue performed by husband Harlan. And the Zen of Gardening: "Gardening is a form of meditation for me. Whenever I have the chance to get my fingers in the soil, I am transported into my 'inner person'". A woman after my own heart! See Ode to Spring: Confessions of An Obsessive Organic Gardener The Gardens's Gift makes me want to visit Nancy's garden, putter about, and trade plants, even though I live in Iowa and she lives in Florida. At least I can visit virtually. Thank you, Nancy!
