Here’s a dilemma we get requested numerous times: What type of plant would you advocate for my locale/condition? We have lists of vegetation that are acceptable for sure areas that are each annuals and perennials, but sometimes it is challenging to make selections primarily based on pics or descriptions. What truly aids is to see the crops “in the wild,” so to talk. To enable that occur, the Tulsa Learn Gardeners have a annually Backyard garden Tour with Master Gardeners obtainable at every single area to answer your queries. This year’s back garden tour topic is “Luxury Landscapes,” and we have five fantastically landscaped residences to encourage you.
