The warm days of spring are here and summer is just around the corner. Planning to start a garden this year? So many things go into planning a new garden. First, choose the spot that gets lots of sun. The afternoon sun is the warmest so a southwest location is best.
An epiphyte is a fascinating plant, almost otherworldly, like the star of Little Shop of Horrors. In their preferred habitat, these cactus that normally grow in the jungle attach their roots to the crotch of trees and dangle their branches downward.
One of my fondest early memories as a Master Gardener involves a Master Gardener field trip to the Chalk Hill Clematis nursery near Healdsburg. It was one of my first big outings with my newborn daughter and I was excited to get out, see some familiar Master Gardener faces, and learn about plants.
