Toxic plants in the garden

Spring is just around the corner & soon it will be time to start thinking about pruning & replacing the plants in our gardens that didn’t survive the winter. We’ve talked about the importance of using Native Plants in the garden & how some plants are edible, but did you know that many common garden & water garden plants are toxic? Some of these commonly used plant species can be harmful to our pets as well as to humans. House plants can also be dangerous. Toxic houseplants includ… Continue

Surviving frost damage in your garden.

Over the past two weeks, we have had record low temperatures here in sunny Florida. You have probably stepped outside on more than one morning to ice on your car windshield & a blanket of frost on the ground. The first thing I thought of when I heard the forecast was I had better start covering my landscape plants.

Chances are if you covered your plants as I did you will notice that some of your plants still sustained damage. If the air temperature reaches below 28 degrees, your plants will… Continue

Growing Up...

Individuals have been gardening since the dawn of time, using plants for food, medicines, building materials, clothing & simple decorative purposes. Although lately it is gaining in popularity, vertical gardening is not a new concept. Vertical gardens are found through out history. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, one of the seven ancient wonders of the world, is one of the earliest know examples of a vertical garden. Vertical Gardens or Green Walls are becoming increasingly popular, especial… Continue

The email came back again unable to deliver. For some reason that email address you gave me won't go through. I hope I see you and your daughter though on November 3 at the meeting.

I tried emailing you but it came back undeliverable.
It would be great if you could attend the meeting we are holding at the Charis Center on November 3rd at 7pm. We will be explaining all about the program. It is a very simple and inexpensive to be on and you don't feel hungry
or deprived. Plus when special events like the anniversary or holidays come along you don't gain the weight back.

I look forward to seeing you there.
