Mediterranean Garden
This fall, we had the fun project of creating a Mediterranean courtyard garden for a California Spanish house style in Richmond. Our palette was an empty courtyard.
The Purpose of Mulch
This time of year, pour company gets a lot of calls for not only weeding and dead heading, but also for mulching. Granted, it is a lovely time to spread mulch when perennials are dormant, but the real purpose of mulch, is to help retain water in the hotter temperatures.
Planting Wildflowers
In these times of being with family, it may be fun to plant wildflowers. This will let the kids get out some energy. Exhausted or elderly family members can watch and bask in lovely spring weather.
How to Avoid the Corona Virus this Spring?
Go outside in the garden! Pull a weed, plant a perennial, pick up sticks, cut back your ferns, sweep the patio, scrub down porch furniture, play with the dog. All this happiness will boost your immune system. You are easily more than 3 feet away from others. And germs don’t get trapped!
