It’s time, once again, for the Beaufort Garden Club's annual Garden-a-Day event. This FREE event attracts over 2000 people during the designated week. Now in its 22nd year, this self-directed tour will take place June 6 – 10, 2016. The private gardens are open daily from 9:30-12:30.
How about trying lawn substitutes? Flower/shrub beds, groundcovers mulch, paving, or trees. So many good plants and so little time! Always use the right plant in the right place.
Narcissi erupting everywhere. Dogwoods and azaleas starting their eye-popping show. The first iris appearing, roses glowing already, every single tree now bursting with new leaves in a thousand shades of green – if these didn’t tell you it’s spring, then surely a quick glance at any magazine will toot the vernal horn for you. Yep, it’s spring, all right, and a season more loaded with clichés is hard to imagine.
It’s hard to believe that this will be the 6th year for that great summer gardening series, Lunch and Learn, which begins Saturday, April 16th in the Gazebo at the Port Royal Farmers’ Market , and continues each Saturday until September 10th. This award winning series of classes, workshops and lectures is free to the public and no registration is required.
Sometimes you just need a graceful vertical element in your garden. A well placed vine canbe used as a focal point or perhaps to screen something unsightly. Caution and careful planning are the watchwords however; you don't want to deal with something like Audrey from Little Shop of Horrors.
