 Gardening is not brain surgery or rocket science. There is so much more to our gardens than compost and digging holes. The plants we garden with are story machines, each begging to be heard. Each week, sit back and listen to award-winning author and internationally acclaimed horticulturist Dr Allan Armitage as he talks about the “rest of the story.” For example, was there really someone called Joe Pye, and how did the poppy become the flower of remembrance? Find a little time in your day for some storytelling to fire up your curiosity and learn something interesting to share with others.Dr. Allan Armitage

    Dr. A's Top Picks for the Garden: Rudbeckia
    May 23 2025

    Sharing a successful plant with others is truly rewarding. A beautiful plant not only enhances the aesthetics of your garden but also attracts pollinators and is native to the area. This morning, I want to highlight the yellow or golden coneflower, commonly known as Rudbeckia. Rudbeckia is native to a significant portion of the American landscape. Interestingly, Linnaeus named it during the development of binomial nomenclature in taxonomy. This plant is an excellent choice, and there are many varieties that would be perfect for your garden.

    May 9 2025

    Today, I want to share my enthusiasm for a specific plant that I've fallen in love with: the Spirea. I have always had a fondness for Spireas. They often feature white or pink flowers and make excellent landscape plants for the front of the house. One of my favorites is the Gold Mound Spirea.
