These are a Few of Our Favorite Things
An exciting collection of gardening favorites from oh-so-many gardeners. Favorites from local pros and celebs – everyone from Chicago Botanic Garden experts to local wizards and a few surprise contributors. Expect the unexpected!
Low Maintenance Gardening
I certainly learned about gardening the hard way. My first garden was high maintenance, unsustainable for our busy lives. Look at the journey on my Work Less postings – follow along to see the progress on our half-acre lot. The principles Mike and I are now using are resulting in less work and can be used in your garden.
Winter Interest
Our garden is wonderful to look at all year long, as are the others in this presentation. Your winter garden can be interesting too. Really!
Creativity in the Garden
Let this seminar be your inspiration and road map to expressing your individuality through repurposing items, using color, and thinking big even in a small space. Be courageous in your garden decisions, think outside of the big box store, and make your garden uniquely yours.
Dahlias – Living Fireworks
Mike and I ‘found’ dahlias 20 years ago and our lives have not been the same since. We plant tubers in the basement in February and grow a few hundred plants for our yard and garden club sales. Mike is past president of the Central States Dahlia Society, while I love to share our dahlia passion and let you know how you can easily grow dahlias too. Check out my dahlia postings and you’ll want to grow them too.
