62: Gardening Hacks Anyone Can Use (with Team Simplified’s Whit)

Spring has officially sprung!  It’s hard not to throw yourself into your local plant nursery and empty your wallet to create the garden of your Instagram dreams. But how do you get the best bang for your gardening buck? And what are the easiest plants to care for without, you know, sending them to the compost pile? Lucky for us, Simplified’s creative director Whitney Hawkins happens to create beautiful things not only with her computer, but also with her gorgeous garden! Whit and Emily talk about the easiest plants and flowers to care for inside and outside your home, Whit’s go-to tools for any gardening projects, why she built a Free Flower Stand in front of her house, and why gardening has sprouted new relationships in her neighborhood and a new sense of confidence, wonder, and awe in herself.   KARMA | Download Karma for free today at shop.karmanow.com/emily for a chance to win $1,000!    KIWICO | STEAM and science kits for kids!
