Zannah Crowe at Boerner
Today (Sunday 04-13-2014) I attended the meeting of the Daylily Society of Southeastern Wisconsin at Boerner Botanical Gardens.
The presenter was horticulturist Zannah Crowe of Monches Farm.
The topic was "Perennial Plant Combinations."
Terrific presentation. Zannah Crowe has an encyclopedic knowledge of plants combined with an artist's eye for garden design.
Very informative and well worth attending.
Counts as one hour of MGV ongoing education credit.

I attended opening day for the new season on Thursday April 10, 2014.
I bought one flat of mixed color Pansies and two Hellebores.
It was a relief to learn that they were not permanently closed as incorrectly reported on the above linked Facebook page.

Composting
On Tuesday 04-08-2014, I attended the meeting of the Greater Milwaukee Rose Society at Boerner Botanical Gardens.
The presenter was Master Composter Robert Balderson.
The topic was "Composting and Your Roses."
He explained the UW-Extension guidelines on composting, and then supplemented that material with his own experiences in vermicomposting.
A good refresher, and well worth attending.

Real Spring
Real spring has finally arrived.
I picked a dozen earthworms off the driveway this morning, and moved them to worm-friendly composty garden soil.

Native, Zone 5, produces abundant fruit, would love to have one.

Prefers a boggy site in full sun, which we do not have, so it would be an interesting experiment.
