Plants on display at the office

After 2 container gardening classes, we have some beautiful pots filled with nice, blooming plants. We have some containers that go in the sun and some that go in the shade. Here's one of my favorite plants -- caladium. It's in a dirty pot, but don't mind that....


Our Calycanthus is blooming again, after the blooms were frozen off April 6-8. But they're back albeit with a few dead branches on the plant.


Also, come visit our office and you can browse our All-America Vegetable Demonstration Garden. Cilantro, Swiss chard, tomatoes, okra, peppers, and onions have been planted into raised beds. They are watered and fertilized through soaker hoses. The fence is around to prevent rabbits from eating the young plants. It may also serve to make it a bit more cumbersome for 2-legged creatures to steal from our garden. Come browse around when you're in the area.
