Ladies and Gentlemen, Start your Engines!

It's time to move full speed ahead with plans for the 2014 garden season!

Adding new trees or shrubs to your landscape this year? Take the time now to do your research so you can make an informed choice come planting season.

European larch, Larix decidua, is a beautiful tree that needs careful site selection.

Want to try your hand at growing your own edibles?  Think about what you and your family actually like to eat, not only in terms of specific veggies, but also types of cuisine. A focus on cuisine may open your eyes to some fun and interesting new plants to consider. And don't forget the herbs!

Romanesco broccoli and rhubarb. Yum (though maybe not in the same dish!).
