About birdland
We are an engaged couple who recently bought a home outside of St. Joseph, Minnesota on 1.5 acres. This blog documents our gardening and landscaping adventures!
Having so much land is a treat as we used to live in a 1 bedroom apartment in Flagstaff, Arizona where we could only grow plants on our patio.
Happy Planting!
~Jami and Patrick
