Hello!
I'm new to the forum as well as to gardening as a whole. I'm a science student in my mid twenties and I aspire to work with plants long-term for both a career and for personal growth.
I live in Olympia, WA with its temperate climate and beautiful Pacific Northwest forests. I'm renting a lovely little historic house with my partner, my three cats, and an enthusiastic housemate who I met through school. We have a lot of grass, a couple of trees, and the house is constantly under threat of being taken over by morning glory look-alikes.
I've just finished an Associates of Science and am searching for a full time job to replenish the finances before continuing my education, and I want to spend all my spare time in the flower beds. I've just purchased some asters and lavender, as I understand that the local bees quite like them. How would you go about filling your garden space when on a very tight budget?
I look forward to getting to know you all!
