Greetings fellow gardeners! I managed to pull myself away from my Chesapeake Gardening & Landscaping manuscript long enough to add some more events to the calendar. One of immediate interest is Grounded Design blogger Thomas Ranier, who is speaking for free at the Annapolis Horticulture Society’s meeting tomorrow night!
Also coming up, Adkins Arboretum has a bus trip to the Philadelphia Flower Show this year! Kent County residents note that there is a special pickup at the 301/291 Park and Ride (you have to request it, but is saves lots of driving!).
As for my book, it is due out in spring 2014, but the manuscript is due next month, yikes! I am really pleased that I have lots of lists of natives sorted according to where you can use them. They have me really inspired, and as soon as I press “send” on the manuscript, you can bet that I will be ordering plants. Writing has also given me loads of ideas for blog posts, so stay tuned!

Hi Barbara,
I hope you’re thinking of getting your native plants at the Adkins Arboretum Native Plant Sale on April 13th and 14th! Thanks for the updates.

Hi! You bet! I got a couple beautiful ‘Grey Owl’ Eastern redcedars (Juniperus virginiana) from you last fall. (For the unitiated, these are silvery blue shrubs that range from 2 to 3 feet at maturity, spread to 4 or 6 feet and tolerate everything that redcedars do. What’s not to love?) I’ve been making plant lists while I’m working on Chesapeake Gardening & Landscaping!
