GROUND COVER PLANTS

Whenever you’re designing the style and look of your landscape, curating an assortment of plants to provide variety in color, texture, and height is a surefire way to create a look that is fashionable in a way that endures. While tall and brightly colored flowers are a vivid statement piece, they look their best complemented with other more subtle, low-lying blooms. The stars of the show might shine and catch your attention in the summer, but their subtle backup dancers do a lot of the heavy lifting to compliment them and fill in the look.

GARDENING IN YOUR KITCHEN

Making the best of your garden can mean having access to the very freshest flavors of all your favorite fruits, herbs, and veggies every day of the summer. If you’re planning on growing even a single planter of edibles to elevate your taste buds, chances are you’re already taking part in the kitchen gardening trend.

HOW TO AMEND SOIL

At a glance, dirt is dirt. You plant it in it, things grow, and there’s not much to be said on the topic. Soil is actually a complicated ecosystem that includes a balance of organic material, minerals, living organisms, water, and gases, to make a balanced cocktail of what our plants need to live. While it sounds complicated, soil has been maintaining itself for millions of years already and hardly needs any micromanaging from you. However, there are some easy ways to nudge it in the right direction to suit your growing needs.

EARLY TREE PLANTING

If you want to introduce more trees to your home, the spring is a fantastic opportunity in our cooler Indiana climate to do so. By planting in the early spring, you’re optimizing its ability to thrive, growing healthy and strong. Here are our tips on planting trees in the early spring.

HOW TO SEED INDOORS

Growing your garden from scratch is as rewarding as your garden produce is nutritious! It’s incredibly satisfying to gaze at a garden bursting with veggies, having grown some or all of your plants from tiny seeds. On top of that, home-grown produce is also better for you and better for your wallet than buying from the store.

YOUR INDIANA SEEDING CALENDAR

The freshest flavors always come from your garden! The summer is the most exciting time for edibles, as delicious foods make their way from plant to plate in record time. Homegrown food is a rising trend and we can definitely see why many people are choosing to grow some of their favorite foods at home. When you’ve gotten to know your plants - from seed, to seedling, to produce - you know you’re eating clean, organic, and local with the best-tasting veggies grown just steps from your kitchen.

UNDERSTANDING ZONES

With a tough winter and a seemingly unending Polar Vortex cold snap, it’s pretty hard to imagine what it must be like for some of our poor perennial plants, shivering their way through the winter under a layer of snow. While we are endlessly thankful for inventions like furnaces and space heaters, we don’t envy the lives of our tough perennials these days!
