Welcome to Benson’s Best Buds!

Why I Created Benson’s Best Buds

Hi, I’m Elizabeth Budenholzer Benson, and I recently started gardening. I live in Central Texas with my husband, Andrew, and our dog, Shepard. Originally, I was posting pictures of my yard and seedlings to my Instagram stories, and I realized that a blog was a better medium for what I was trying to accomplish.

So began the concept of this site, Benson’s Best Buds – a play on our last names that conveniently suits the topic of my blog. Here I will chronicle my efforts to grow my dream garden- my musings, the challenges I face, and, hopefully, the fruits of my labor.

Because most of my plants are barely peeking out of the ground or the plant trays they lay in, I thought I would spend my early days of blogging with a series: How I Got Here. Soon, we’ll catch up to present day, and I will update you on how my seeds, bulbs, and bushes are doing.

warmly,
