Great Website for Upper Midwest Gardeners

gldno1
19 years ago

Hey, I just accidentally found this website this morning searching for a shrub! It is a great site, even with the audio pronunciation of the species.

You all may know about it, but I didn't. Don't know if it would all be applicable to me in Zone 6, but helpful anyway.

Enjoy.
