Rhonda credits her dad with her love of gardening. He taught her not to be afraid to get her hands in the dirt. The advice has paid off because this is the second time that she has won. In the garden, perennials are her best friend, and she's not afraid to keep replanting them until she finds their perfect spot.

Besides her foundation shrubs, pollinator garden, and island bed, Rhonda plans to add a new garden along the fence at her property’s edge. It will be fun to follow her progress as she creates another pleasing palette of perennials.
