After a while, I learned there isn’t really a whole lot I can do to mess up. If you alleviate this fear of making mistakes with a little logic and forethought, you can avoid making horticulture flubs.

Excerpt from my book, Gardening with Confidence®–50 Ways to add style for personal creativity:

Confidence-building comes in using the right tools, preparing for the elements, and visiting other gardens and local arboreta in your area for ideas of what grows well in your area. Meeting other gardeners, talking with the staff at your independent garden center, reading regional blogs, and even chatting on garden forums will do even more to boost your confidence. But most importantly, confidence comes from faith in yourself to get out and dig.

For me, confidence building is all about using Corona Tools. I’ve used their tools for years, and love their American-made design and ingenuity.

And speaking of ingenuity, check this out! And guess what else? The Convertible Pruner + Lopper aren’t even available in stores yet! You will be one of the very first to own one!

The winner will be announced on Sunday, December 9th.
