Gardening Tip of the Day

Professional plant people are recommending the use of more native plants in residential landscapes. Because they are well adapted to the conditions in their region, natives are typically more self-reliant than plants introduced from elsewhere. Tough and attractive, they require very little care. Some examples are: New England aster, bee balm, coralbells, black-eyed Susan, butterfly weed, goldenrod, purple coneflower, joe-pye weed, and Virginia creeper.
