Plant Collections

Plant Collections, where to start?

Buying plants is one of my favorite activities. Uncovering easy to grow, choice, reliable, fragrant plants is very rewarding. However plant selection is often based solely on availability. 'Plant X is in stock at $15.00 and I can buy 10.

Your plant pallet is based on what you can get rather than what you can grow. There is a world of remarkable plants that with a little effort will reward you with a cacophony of desirability!

The first hurdle in plant selection is to identify your growing zone. 1 is coldest 11 is warmest. If you live in zone 7 and use plants from zones 1-6 then those plants are considered hardy and can remain outside year round without winter protection. These plants are tough, and reliable and there is a huge range to choose from.

Purchase Tier One

Those initial efforts and projects were not aligned with the proven horticultural practices featured in Tier One. The five modules will give you the grounding to make better decisions.
