Too often gardening advice comes in the form of rules: do this, don’t do that, plant this, don’t plant that. This can stifle creativity and creative expression, resulting in gardens that feel impersonal and generic. Fearless Gardening call to arms, urging gardeners to be bold, break the rules and grow what they love. In this photo-rich seminar, you’ll be inspired to look at plants differently, see your garden through new eyes and treat gardening as an adventure.
