Garden

  • Design principles make gardens beautiful
    A garden can be defined many ways: a plot of land used for the growing of flowers, vegetables, herbs and trees; an area of fertile, cultivated property; even as a verb “to lay out, develop or tend.
  • Fill in gaps
    In glaring gaps in garden beds, sow seeds of zinnias or cosmos, which will germinate and grow into tall flowering annuals by July. Both need full sun.
  • Hanging baskets bring star power to your eye level
    Hanging baskets may be small, but they can really make a garden pop, or add just the right burst of color to an otherwise-drab area. They’re easy-to-plant, portable mini-gardens that let you add color and texture anywhere you need it.

Garden tip

Replace summer annuals with pansies or the smaller, more elegant violas in garden beds and frost-proof containers. These hardy annuals will grow and flower until a hard freeze, and should spring back for a show in the first half of spring.
