Fall Gardening Festival - Week 3

Fall is for Planting... Trees, Shrubs & Perennials

Fall is a time to rejuvenate your garden! This is an ideal time to plant new trees, shrubs and perennials so they have several months of root growth before the winter dormancy.

Why Is There So Much Talk About Natives?

It’s rare to watch a gardening program or read a gardening article these days without running across the term “native” plant. What exactly IS a native plant? Generally, a “native” is described as something that grew naturally and locally in an area long before human involvement, whether from European or other contact.

Bulbs - Not Just For Spring

Bulbs, including corms, tubers and rhizomes, which are swollen underground stems, will enhance your garden with color in all seasons. They may surprise you with a bloom or seem to take forever to bloom. No matter what season you want to brighten in your garden there are bulbs that you will enjoy.
