Welcome to the new Gardening With Skip website
Your source for gardening advice, tips, and printable guides to grow a more bountiful garden and beautiful landscape!
I’m often asked things like, “What gardening books do you recommend? Where’d you
get that hat? What are your favorite gardening tools?
I’ve curated my favorite items that answer these questions, and more, in my Amazon storefront!
