When it comes to gardening, one of the best places to learn is from our fellow gardeners. So I've started a list of some of the great local garden blogs (Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia) I've found. The list is by no means complete. If you have a local garden blog, or know of one that is missing from the list, please send me the info through email or add it in a comment below this post. If your blog is listed and you would also like people to be able to follow you on twitter, include that info too! I'll keep the list up to date, so feel free to link to it or share it with others. And thanks to all of the great garden bloggers out there who have chosen to share their gardens with the world!
