Hire me to take a look in person or online, make recommendations, and guide you to your perfect garden ABOUT Lisa (Midwest Garden Gal) I'm Lisa Hinzman Howard and I want you to know that gardening doesn't need to be scary, crazy time consuming, or tons of hard work. I can help! Life is a grand experiment and gardening is the perfect outlet for our creative energies not to mention great for body and soul! I credit my Mom, Linda, and my grandparents, Howard and Janet, with sowing the seeds of passion for GIY (Grow It Yourself). Their early teachings continued to grow into an ever expanding love of the soil. A Master Gardener since 2011, I've spent years learning and growing and making all kinds of mistakes along the way. Through trial and error, my passion for all things green blossomed and soon I was sharing my learnings with a growing number of family and friends. Since 2016, I've taken my passion further as Midwest Garden Gal, now helping gardeners across the world find success in gardens from just a few pots on a patio to a multiple bed annual, perennial, and veggie paradise! Join us! Yours in gardening, ~ Lisa
