Today’s garden plot: Becoming ‘urbanized’ and ‘revolutionized’

Today’s garden plot: Becoming ‘urbanized’ and ‘revolutionized’

Friday Jan. 14, a news flash came across my phone saying verbatim ‘A Major Food Shortage is Coming Again in the United States’. That headline coupled with what we are seeing in the places we shop is enough to cause a level of anxiety. 01/20/2022 12:00 AM

It’s not my job... until it is

How many times have you heard -- or thought to yourself -- “That’s none of my business” or “Nope. I’m not getting involved” or “That’s not my job?” 01/20/2022 12:00 AM

Copper Canyon Daisy will thrill with fragrance

Copper Canyon Daisy will thrill with fragrance

At the Coastal Georgia Botanical Gardens, it was the Copper Canyon daisy that was guaranteed to put all visitors under a spell from the smell. It happened on a regular basis. After a class, I would take the students or clients on a personal tour of the garden. We would exit the side door of the conference center right into the Mediterranean Garden and instantly they become fixated on a shrubby marigold with a tantalizing fragrance. 01/13/2022 12:00 AM

Suñorita Rose Garners American Rose Society’s ‘Award of Excellence’

Suñorita Rose Garners American Rose Society’s ‘Award of Excellence’

The Garden Guy wasn’t stopping to smell the roses but instead stared in awe at the form of a rosebud. Even though this new rose variety called Suñorita is considered a miniflora, the bud looked like a classic tiny hybrid tea. Then — out of nowhere as if to confirm my admiration — a butterfly landed on top and proceeded to investigate. 01/06/2022 12:00 AM
