Hi, I am Kim and welcome to my magazine! I am a gardener and a hypertufa maker. I also write about flower gardening and using succulents which are great drought-tolerant plants. I even put some houseplants in hypertufa planters .
Of course, I have some recipes and some random home & family posts. Please page through the Magazine and find what you like!
I also have a YouTube channel called Kim's Gardens where you can see my hypertufa as I make them. Like to see a Plant Haul? I have those too. ( See More)
