Wee Trees
Flowers bless the world with their colors for just a short time – most perennials bloom for only a few weeks and annuals are gone in fall.
Easy Care Grasses
Ornamental grasses are super easy to care for. They adapt to different soils, they don’t need much in the way of fertilizing and watering (unless they’re in pots) and they lend texture to the garden all summer long.
Artists in the Garden
Summer is here and it’s time to start enjoying outdoor living and entertaining on our decks and patios.
Garden Heroes
The heroes of our gardens, whose essential work mostly goes unrecognized, pollinators help plants reproduce, which helps sustain the ecosystem that in turn sustains us.
Garden Blues
Blue flowers, and blue and blue-gray foliage, can create the feeling of an island of tranquility, especially around a small pool or fountain, or in a seating area.
Embrace Your Green Thumb
How to start a garden: Never had a garden before? I highly recommend it! It’s easy to do, great to do with young kids — get them away from their screens for a while.
Welcome Spring
ng begins with bulbs. Here on the East End some of the earliest — and most welcome — color in our landscapes and gardens comes from bulbs.
The Garden in Fall
Gardening is a rewarding and even healing activity, and also gives us the benefit of fresh-picked food, beautiful flowers and soothing greenery, not to mention time spent in the fresh air instead of in front of a screen.
Fall is the Time to Plant Early Blooming Bulbs
Daffodils and tulips are favorites, but there are some earlier bloomers that bring color to our gardens before daffodils and tulips get started.
Window Boxes
Window boxes make flowers and greenery a part of your home, and even if you’ve never gardened before, planting a window box is an easy way to start. It can be a fun project to do with kids, too.
