Ten Steps to spring containerS
Earlier this month, I had the absolute joy of sharing my tablescapes at the Columbia Garden Club Spring Symposium. This week I shared my ENTIRE presentation from event so you can watch it at home!
In the video, I share more about my personal background and how I got started in the gardening world—including what Tommy and I promised each other when we got married, and LOTS more.
I also plant a spring container on stage, showing you a live step-by-step of how I like to plant my containers. It was so fun!
Now, it’s an hour-long video, so be prepared! But it’s perfect thing to listen to while you’re multitasking in your garden!
At the end there is a Q&A section with myself and the other presenters where we answer SO MANY great gardening questions. There is so much to learn in one video! It is packed with great information any gardener will enjoy.

It’s almost time to prune your Limelights!
You should wait about two weeks before your frost-free date to prune Limelights. It can depend on the weather, but typically prune Limelights right before they start leafing out.
Please Note! Do NOT prune other types of pink and purple hydrangeas or you’ll chop off all their beautiful emerging blooms!
When can we start planting this year?
I use the Farmer’s Almanac to find my frost-free date!
Just a little FYI 💚
* Light freeze: 29° to 32°F (-1.7° to 0°C)—tender plants are killed.
* Moderate freeze: 25° to 28°F (-3.9° to -2.2°C)—widely destructive to most vegetation.
* Severe freeze: 24°F (-4.4°C) and colder—heavy damage to most garden plants.
