Ask the Gardener: Mums aren’t the only stars of autumn — these flowers thrive in the fall (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Welcome to autumn, fellow gardeners! The days bring cool mornings and pleasant afternoons. A sweet fragrance fills the air as the late-day sun warms the blossoms of goldenrods, asters, gentians, tickseeds, sunflowers, and grasses. Unlike spring and summer blooms, these plants demand patience; we have given them space in our gardens and waited for their time to shine. Planning for flowers to bloom from April through the end of October can be tricky. Fortunately, many asters and goldenrods grow in
Ask the gardener: How to ‘work smarter, not harder’ in your gardens and yards (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As a teenager, yard work was presented as a chore to complete. The lawn had to be mowed, the leaves had to be raked, and mulch was to be spread as directed.

Ask the Gardener: Rethinking weeds — which to pluck and which to admire (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“What is a weed?

Some are unsung ecological heroes, while others can cause harm and reduce

The mint family of plants is large, characterized by square stems and aromatic foliage, with over 7,000 species worldwide and centers of diversity in the Mediterranean, Central Asia, and China. Thyme, oregano, rosemary, summer savory, hyssop, lavender, peppermint, and spearmint all belong to this cosmopolitan family and originate from the Mediterranean region. Plants like patchouli and shiso, with global economic imp
Which hydrangea varieties are right for your garden? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Thanks to foresight and some timely watering, most of my garden survived the recent heat wave looking none too shabby. Similarly, at Garden in the Woods, the deep watering we provided ahead of the heat wave to our new plantings and most drought-prone areas proved to be a wise intervention. Making observations in your garden during a hot stretch can be quite informative, revealing which plants do not seem to mind the oven-like conditions, which ones like to complain but actually perk up as soon a
