Hello,

It is great to be invited to write on Savy Gardening and to meet all of you. 

I guess I should start with a little bit about myself.  I am a mother of two boys and have found that having two boys has taken me into top soil and mud more often than I can remember.  I have truly learned more about gardening in my six years of motherhood then at any other time in my life.  Not because I was doing more of it but because I suddenly had to answer questions.  My kids weren’t happy with the simple explanations and would need a full report on why ladybugs are good for gardens or what exactly worms were doing in the soil.  I have also learned how to add a green thumb to a potential disaster after a child is let loose with a garden hose.

I won’t say that I am an expert gardener, although I can hold my own with a watering can, I still have a lot to learn and many more gardens to grow.  I constantly look for new ways to add a nice touch to my garden, much to the dispair of my husband, and I enjoy bringing that garden in. 

So over the next few months, please feel free to contact me if I happen to get a fact wrong, or I haven’t covered a topic that you are interested in.  Hopefully though, I will provide you with amazing content, helpful tips and some new ideas that you may want to incorporate into your garden.

Now that we have introductions taken care of.  Look for a new article in the next day or two. 

All the best,

Sirena Van Schaik
