An informational website dedicated to the zen of gardening. Grasses are a gardener's best friend. Have an area in your garden that needs some sprucing up but doesn't get much moisture or gets way too much sun? Try ornamental grasses.

An informational website dedicated to the zen of gardening. Bypass pruners are ideal for pruning new growth or green wood. An avil pruner has a flat blade surface, but a bypass pruner has a hook to cradle and hold the branch while the blade slices through it. Bypass pruners are a great tool for cutting back rose bushes and canes. Want to invite birds to your garden? Hummingbirds love the fine spray. Be sure to clean and refill your birdbath frequently in hot weather. Want a great gift for someone?

An informational website dedicated to the zen of gardening. Plants should be placed in the garden in odd numbers of 3, 5 or 7. If flowers are planted in an even number, the eye has a tendency to split the group in half. Using odd numbers will create a pleasing and filling palate for the eye. Are some of your plants at the end of their season and it's too hot to clean out the gardens? And of all things, there's a big garden party planned at your house? Want to add some color to your summer garden?

An informational website dedicated to the zen of gardening. Getting leggy as the summer wears on? Do you want to see the full and healthy-looking plants you purchased? Pinch 'em. Pinch back the stems and eliminate all the flowers. By reducing the size of the plant and getting rid of the inconsequential blooms, you allow the plant to put its energy back into building leaves. Within a few weeks you'll be surprised by the difference. Thanks to Andrew Stenning. Who contributed the photograph for our masthead.

An informational website dedicated to the zen of gardening. When adding new plants to the garden, pour some water in the hole before you place the plant. Especially at this time of year, it won't droop so quickly and will cut down on the amount of water and time needed to establish itself. Thanks to Andrew Stenning.
