Hellllo hive gardeners! I bet you're all super excited for Sprrrrriiiinnnnggg - or, you're busy harvesting, or tidying, or just generally being in the garden!

Before we jump into the challenge, a quick hello from our Leo Garden mascot, Dande! Thanks @fanyokani for the great name. Dande-lion makes sense, don't you think?

A quick reminder about Threads & a new challenge guideline!

Thanks to everyone that's jumped on Threads. We have a special request this challenge - post your garden content on Leo Threads! You can post your own link, say something about someone elses, post a photo from your garden, or ask a garden related question. Use the tag #hivegarden #gardenjournal and any other tags you like.

There's a special prize for the best THREAD!

A Little Request

Before I remind you about the months challenge, can I ask you a favour? If you can spare a bit of Hive, please delegate to @gardenhive - it's so nice to reward fellow gardeners with upvotes in this community and every little helps.
