Had a customer come in today who wanted to replace some mountain laurel that had died after a few years in his yard (context: this is in the coastal plain of Virginia, definitely outside the preferred habitat of mountain laurels). The ones we had in stock had been cut back because they were looking rough from the heat and humidity. I explained that Kalmia grows much better in the higher elevations of the Piedmont, in almost rocky soil; but he insisted he wanted to replace several that had gone kaput. Even after me telling him they struggle outside the mountains in this part of the country. I would have offered up Pieris or Clethra as alternatives, both very shade tolerant and less temperamental in zone 7 heat. #plants #landscaping

Hey plant people, do you think this "Certificate Program in Ecological Horticulture", "a systems approach to sustainable land stewardship", is worth anything? Like, would this help me get people to listen to me, or pay me? https://experience.morrisarboretum.org/Info.aspx?EventID=48

It costs ~$3000 for 12 classes and a personal project, which can be completed in a year or at your own pace. I want it to mean something but it seems pretty new, I think starting in fall 2025? So it may have no track record.

Wisconsin Yard & Garden: Native ornamental grasses https://www.allforgardening.com/1928078/wisconsin-yard-garden-native-ornamental-grasses/ #gardening #GardeningWisconsin #landscaping #OrnamentalGrasses #outdoors #wisconsin

“Designing with native plants isn't just about what you grow, it's about how you shape your space. In this hands-on workshop, Zoe Evans and Heather Evans guide you through building a cohesive yard plan that supports both your lifestyle and biodiversity.”

If this workshop is similar to another one I attended from Heather and Zoe, it will be very good, and you should consider attending.
