Treekeepers class

So, I am taking is great course about trees it is a month long course that trains you on tree ID, biology, pruning, planting and mulch. I am so excited to learn more about the proper care and internal workings of these garden structures.

 

Last week we were given this book which helps you ID trees and I highly recommend. It is a step by step guide to helping you ID many trees. It can also fit in your pocket so you can take it on your walks.

Plants!!!!

 Plants that have really stolen my heart this summer.

Ball Landscape days in West Chicago, New Petunia Colors!

Asclepias incarnata butterfly milkweed, a great plant that helps monarchs in all phases of their life.

Asclepias tuberoas another butterfly favorite that adds a wow factor to the garden

Digitalis foxglove 'foxlight ruby glow'

I would love to hear some of your summer favorites!
