What’s Happening in Your Neck of the Woods?

I was late out in Seattle for the flower and garden show . While there , I got to catch up with our Northwest regional reporter , Susan Calhoun . We talked about a bunch of different things , but my favorite part was hear about what was happening in her Pacific Coast garden correctly at that very instant . She hold me in a trance as she key the blooms on a raresnowdropcultivar that had just total into flower in her seam . Now I do n’t consider myself agalanthophilein any way . But to hear her talk about the joy it brought her made me desire to become one .

I always love hearing about what ’s happening in other people ’s gardens . I wish to get laid what plant are performing well , which tree they just splurge on , or how they ’re lot with the terms leave behind after an unexpected dusty snap fastener . It does n’t weigh to me that what they ’re planting I may not be able to plant in my own Zone 6 garden , or that the conditions they ’re parcel out with might not mimic what I ’m worry about in my landscape . It ’s all enthralling and the sort of garden know - how that I love to ring myself with . That ’s what combine us in this passion .

Perhaps you are the same . You love reading about a xeriscape in New Mexico , despite living in Montana . Or you love to swoon over a Zone 9 plant despite living in Zone 5 . If that ’s the variety of person you are — and I suspect because you are a member of theFine Gardeningcommunity , you are — then I do n’t want to indicate out the array of amazing regional articles we ’ve published in the last calendar month . But in shell you missed some , be sure to check outtips for growing fruit Tree in coastal climesandthe best aboriginal annuals for the Rocky Mountains . I do n’t live in either of these regions , but I walked away from read these deep dives with pot of notes that will makemea good gardener inmybackyard .

The rest of the content sport in this newssheet is similarly robust and is guaranteed to avail you chase away the last of the winter blues . The snowfall may still be devolve where you garden , but eternal rest insure that the wood anemone are on their way .
