Organic gardener, Colleen Vanderlinden, has created a lens on Squidoo that she hopes will infect readers with a love of gardening.  She wants to show anyone how to bring more joy to their lives with gardening. Whether you garden on five acres or a balcony apartment you’ll find tons of information to get you on the path to being a true-blue, bona fide, totally obsessed gardener.

Colleen has a great list of gardening books that she recommends as well as articles on how to start a flower garden, vegetable garden and soil preparation. I love her article on starting a garden with little or no money (great for kids), as well as her tips on the five most basic tools to have on hand for all your gardening needs. She has an extensive list of links and websites that can put you in touch with all kinds of resources for your gardening and landscaping needs.

Now that Spring is in the air, I say we tap into our green thumbs and get dirty!
