Give Your Space A Plant-Over...

Plants add instant life to any room but they are more than just a design secret-they can actually change the science of a space. Greenery can absorb toxins, purify the air, and even reduce noise levels.

Pothos, Succulent, Calathes Medallion Dracaena are some excellent choices for the bathroom. They not only thrive in humidity but they help rid the air of chemicals left behind by cleaning & beauty products.

Plants are a mood booster-and no room can benefit more than a bedroom!

Seeds vs Seedlings

In the depth of winter looking through a seed catalog is the gardener's equivalent of planning a summer vacation-a chance to fantasize about warmer days ahead.

Growing from seed allows one to try a wide variety than you'll typically find as seedlings the the garden center.

In today's Seattle Times Pacific Northwest Section Forkner offers tips on plotting for spring but what really grabbed my attention was his reference to a 2015 book by Ken Druse.The New Shade Garden: Creating A Lush Oasis In The Age of Climate Change.

Forkner agrees that the garden of the future will be shade ones. Last year was one of the hottest summers on records in the Pacific Northwest and agrees Climate Charge will play an important factor in future gardening endeavours.
