Welcome to the UpBeet Gardener. I'm Marion Owen, from Kodiak, Alaska. Now what does an Alaskan know about gardening? I don't know all the answers, but I've been playing in the dirt for 40 years. [You might enjoy watching this PBS documentary about our Alaska garden at: https://youtu.be/OIXYaZy3qag]

This channel is not just about how to grow stuff. I share tips about your self-care, too. For example, you're encouraged to let gardening add years to your life and life to your years.

It's the mantra for The UpBeet Gardener (TUG) community -- A welcoming place where neighbors from around the world support each other in growing gardens and lives that bring lasting contentment and happiness. Discover more at https://gardenerscoach.com/tug/
