Happy Monday Houghton Jones Family 

🌱 April is National Gardening Month!
Throughout this month, I’ll be sharing helpful gardening tips with you each week. To get started, try choosing low-maintenance plants to make the experience more enjoyable. Herbs like basil and mint, leafy greens like lettuce, and vegetables like tomatoes are all great beginner-friendly options. They grow quickly and don’t require complicated care—perfect for starting your gardening journey.

📖 It’s also National Poetry Month!

In honor of this, I’d love to recommend the incredible poet William Blake, often considered a foundational figure in poetry. Like William Shakespeare, his work has had a lasting influence on language, literature, and the way we express ideas today.
