Hi, I am Kim and welcome to my magazine! I am a gardener and a hypertufa maker. If you came here to learn about hypertufa, I have a lot of information. But I also write about flower gardening and using succulents which are great drought-tolerant plants. I also like to write about houseplants and I have put them in hypertufa planters also.
Of course, I have some recipes and some random family concerns which I hope interest you too! Please page through the Magazine and find what you like! and Subscribe!
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)
