Low-Maintenance Gardening and more

9 years ago

I've received information from the Executive Director of the National Garden Bureau regarding low-maintenance gardening which I've published on BostonGardens.com. Some may find it of interest.

There are also several upcoming horticultural lectures and meetings listed (some of which are free).

Thanks Hilda! I'm always looking for tips that will make maintenance easier. And it's always nice to be reminded about your site as well! :)

Nice article, Hilda. I liked the section on defining your style where it says:

"If you have a lot of shade, try to mimic a naturalized woodland and let nature takes its course."

My "naturalized woodland" areas are slowly taking over my whole yard! I'm now working on beating trails through some of them.

I also appreciate that you have a link to the MA Prohibited Plants List. It's much easier than googling it again and again (I do have it bookmarked but my Bookmarks list is way too long to easily find anything).
