Whoooooaaahhhh you Northern Hemisphere peeps, you are really starting to ramp up the #gardening posts now that SPRING is here! It's so exciting to see your enthusiasm and your gardens starting to grow.
Depending on time, I might even do an early April/late April challenge, depending on how busy I am - we'll see! There's so much going on in your gardens that I'm afraid I'll be buried under a huge backload of awesome #gardeningjournal content! But that's not such a bad thing, amirite?
What to Share
Do you have a herb garden, a vegetable patch, a flower garden or even grow vegetables on your window sill? Maybe you have a grow room under lights, a community garden or you are growing roses. It doesn't matter what kind of garden it is - we are all different in our tastes! Diversity is one of the interesting things about this challenge.
Try to use at least 300 words describing your garden - what's worked well? what's failed? You might like to make your post more appealing with a personal story or even a garden recipe. You might like to focus on only one plant or the whole garden.
You might also like to 'theme' your post around environmental values, abundance, community, health, sustainability or any other related theme.

Prizes
Each month, I'll give out a total of 30 HIVE from my personal account, and 300 LOTUS. I'll distribute this how I see fit - if I don't get a lot of entries, or they aren't at a good standard we expect on HIVE, I might give away less - but I'm usually pretty generous and may give away more!
As Natural Medicine supports this kind of content, we'll also be upvoting, reblogging and even tipping the best ones, and submitting them to curation projects for further support.
The due date will be the 12th of April.
Above all, have fun, and happy gardening!
Welcoming any sponsors that might like to contribute to this challenge!
