Her garden is the entire landscape around her home, filled with plants that need as little care as possible. Minimal care is not her only plant selection criteria however. Plants must also provide color, fragrance, texture, and movement in the landscape. Food for the table and food for native pollinators is also a high priority. Many of the plants in her latest book were test grown in her own yard. You can read her weekly posts on her website and on social media. Just remember the "e" in Soule ;-)
