We've all made mistakes in the garden, sometimes at the expense of our plants, or even ourselves! From the dreaded question of when to water, to erroneously thinking you’re a poison ivy expert, and plenty in between. Join Lucy Contreras, Assistant Director of Horticulture at Kalmia Gardens as she chronicles some of the mistakes she's made throughout her career in horticulture, from the early days, right on through the present. Reflect on lessons learned, how to rebound from faux pas, and those mistakes really are the best way to learn and grow.
