Succulents are a great way to add color and texture indoors– especially for the ‘houseplant impaired’! However, best results are achieved when you follow some basic cultivation requirements!
Seed Season!
January 9, 2012 by · 2 Comments
Winter may be time off from actively gardening but it’s a great time of year for gardeners! When the seed catalogs start arriving in the mail I feel like a kid all over again, drooling over the holiday “Sears Wishbook”. Each catalog holds the promise of the ‘best garden ever’ if I can just pick Continue…

I’ll admit that I’m really NOT a houseplant person. Not only do I tend to kill them from benign neglect, I also just don’t like the way the take over things (think of the classic Philodendron). You’ve seen this guy, right? All stretched out 6 feet long and held up by thumb tacks as it Continue…

Having lived for a time in the Pacific Northwest, I got spoiled. There are so many lovely nurseries there and most of them sport display gardens. Heaven on earth! Sadly, most nurseries here in Utah aren’t set up the same way– but there are a few! One such nursery is Glover located in West Jordan. It’s Continue…

Otherwise known as a ‘Plant’ation Privacy Screen. Like many of you, I saw the original idea for this project in Sunset Magazine, though I am sure the designer who created it was not the first to do this, she certainly did it up beautiful! The Sunset Magazine version featured a gorgeous project completed by San Continue…

The 1st annual Gala Fundraiser event was held on Saturday night for Conservation Garden Park and it seems to have been quite a successful event. I am rather relieved it’s over as I participated in several capacities and I’m plum wore out! Through my ‘regular gig’, I helped plan and manage the event. Through my Continue…

I am very fortunate to work for an awesome garden where they let me explore all kinds of interesting planting ideas.

WHEW! The Salt Lake Tribune Spring Home and Garden Festival (could they make that name any longer?) is finally over! It was a great show this year though not as ‘splashy’ as last year’s show. The landscape industry in general is enduring the most difficult financial times EVER so it’s not surprising that the exhibits, Continue…
