Web Site of the Week: National Gardening Association
Posted by: Christine Bulson
Although there is still over a foot of snow on the lawn, the crocus by my back door are blooming so it is time to think about gardening. Garden.org is a great site for both the beginner and experienced gardener. One of the best features of the site is the plant finder where you may input requirements for a plant that you want to identify. You can also choose a suitable plant for your garden based on color, height, etc. Weeds and pests are always around in so there is identification information and advice for removing these problems. The zone finder is a must for the novice. Once you find the zone it will list all the plants that are hardy in your area. You may limit the search by light, mositure, fragrance, etc. Best of luck in your horticulture endeavors. And may the late blight that ruined the tomato and potato crops in the northeast last year, not return!
