If you’ve always wanted to grow your own food but you kill plastic plants, this is the gardening website for you. 

Welcome to Home Garden Joy!  I’ll teach you how to grow delicious fruit and vegetables, and how to grow and use common herbs for health and wellness. New to gardening? I’ve got you covered with over 1,000 articles on everything from apples to zinnias. So come on in – soon you’ll have a garden to be proud of!

I get it – I really do. You kill plastic plants. Your thumb is black instead of green. If you think you can’t garden,  this is the place for you.

My name is Jeanne Grunert and I am the gardener behind Home Garden Joy. When I worked at Martin Viette Nurseries, I heard all the beginning gardeners’ questions. I know how confusing it can be to learn how to garden.

I’m here to make gardening easier so you can grow food you can be proud of: delicious organic vegetables, yummy fruit, and healthy herbs. Let’s get growing!
