Garden Accents for Beauty and Functionality

garden_accentsThe focus of this podcast is the 2010 Northwest Flower & Garden Show in Seattle, Washington. There I found many wonderful garden accents that not only serve a function, but provide beauty to the landscape. You can find photos of my trip in the February Gallery of What's Blooming. I'll then answer gardener's questions on Osage orange.  With that I'll give a little historical significance on this tree. A great website to follow up on the history of American trees is historictrees.org. I'll talk Cedar Apple Rust in my pest tip. Then, I'll finish with a great tool for digging, planting, weeding and soil prep -  the Hoedag.
