Join our monthly Gardening Class! This month's topic is: Garden Journaling  A garden journal is your own personal diary of your garden’s journey.  Keeping a garden journal helps you learn about your plants and soil as you go and gives you a written record of your garden layouts, plans, successes and failures. Similarly, many people find that writing their personal thoughts and feelings down in a journal helps them along their breast cancer journey. Some survivors also use journals to reflect upon milestones and to mentor other survivors.
