Certified ExpertA.That depends. Do you want a sensory garden where they can touch and smell plants? Do you want a butterfly garden with host and nectar plants and plenty of caterpillars? Decide first on a theme, then go from there. Here are some ideas:

Warrington WA2-0UEQ.Is It Possible That Someone Could Help Me Out With Some Dahlia Tubers In Different Colours.
My name is Joe and I'm disabled with a spinal cord injury and now been diagnosed with throat cancer. We would like to know if anyone has any spare dahlia tubers to kindly donate to me for our back garden. As we don't have much money to buy them. This would help me give my wife flowers every day. As she carefully looks after me and never get upset over it. I just hope some people can kindly help me with this. Thank you very much for your time today and God bless you and keep you safe and well.

Certified ExpertA.Sorry to hear about your situation, and that is a lovely thought for your wife. However, this is something that should be handled in your local city in England. We are scattered all over the U.S. I'm sure you can find some help locally, maybe even a neighbor. Most gardeners like to share.

Zone 5 (shores of Lake Superior)Q.Easy Landscaping For Seniors?
Have about 1/4 acre (full sun until about 5 PM), very rocky, other than that, ok soil. Last year was our first in this house. We planted a white birch, a crabapple, a few hydrangeas, astilbe, currant and weigala around the fence perimeter. Looking for some fast growing shrubs and perennials for the middle 40'x40' open area. Thanks for any help. Maureen Granat

May 2, 2021Q.Looking For Indoor House Plants That Are Safe For Kids
I am looking for a floor plant (or indoor tree) for our living room as well as a table top plant for our entryway, but have a curious 1 year old so I'm wondering what plants I should look at that would be non toxic/poisonous to children (and also pets). I'm finding a lot of conflicting information online!
