Living in the San Francisco Bay Area, where living expenses are some of the highest in the country, we have tried to look carefully to trim our expenses wherever possible.  We love gardening, and we love to garden for as little money as possible.  We want to share our tips and and ideas.  The Dirt Cheap Gardener is dedicated to providing the most useful information and links we can find to help you design and grow a beautiful, bountiful garden for as little money as possible. 

Our resident blogger, MaryAnne, has gardened for the last 30 years from San Franciso, to Wisconsin, to Maine and has a wealth of experience gardening in a variety of clilmates and soils.  We hope you will find her blogs both entertaining and informative.
