This week, we present an encore presentation of our May in the Garden podcast from 2019.


Tune in to hear Joanne and Matthew discuss the do's and don'ts for your May garden.

May in the garden brings many inspiring ideas, but there are many not-so-inspiring May to-do's you will also need to get done to give your garden its best chance in the season ahead. 

Joanne and Matthew discuss garden trends which feature some of May’s Stars of the Garden.  

The Stars of the Garden plants for this month happen to be the plants of the year for 2019: Hosta, Shrub, Perennial and Annual of 2019.
