You guys! Today I get to share some details about a special project my husband and I have been dreaming up and I'm just so, so excited!
For those that have been around this blog, or instagram (@lesleyzellers), you know my husband, Eric, and I have a mutual love of gardening. We spend most days outside with our two daughters working in our yard and love being able to try new things and provide fresh food for our family.
For Eric, it's been a long-time dream to somehow use his passion for gardening and share it with others. For me, it's been a dream to watch him use those God-given talents and passions to help others.
Not too long ago, God placed this crazy idea on my heart to open our backyard to our local community and have a relaxed little workshop where we could bring our dreams to life and share our passions with others in hopes of giving people confidence and understanding to go home and grow their own food.
I talked it over with Eric and his eyes literally lit up! We immediately started planning, scheming and dreaming.
And now today, it is with so much excitement that I get to announce our very first gardening workshop we'll be hosting right here in our backyard!!
Here are the details:

We are so excited to invite you to join us for a relaxed, hands-on experience as we discuss some of our favorite gardening techniques, show you real-life examples in our garden, talk about different methods of growing food as well as make new friends and above all else, have a great time!
