MAKE SPACE with Cara Newhart // home design & diy

Master gardener Stacy Ling joins the show to fix your black thumb. We get into where beginners go wrong, how to pick flowers that actually survive your yard, and why winter sowing is the low-effort trick more people should be using. Stacy also breaks down companion planting and how to match plants to the conditions you actually have instead of the ones you wish you had.

We also talk about her book, The Bricks 'n Blooms Guide to a Beautiful and Easy-Care Flower Garden, out everywhere February 6th.

If your garden has been more graveyard than garden, this one's for you.
