About this website:
This blog and website was researched, written, developed and designed by Yours Truly, Janit Calvo. It consists of 98% original content created by me. (I’m saving 2% just in case I forgot about something.) Any errors and omissions are completely unintentional. However, I have been known to make a mistake – or two – before. :o)
Please be gentle in your comments and criticism. It takes a lot of courage to “put it out there” every week for years and years. Kindness matters. Civility matters.
Thank you for reading. I hope this Mini Garden Guru blog helps you enjoy the world’s best hobby, gardening in miniature.
