I love bugs, too.

Rosy Teacups

Pink flowers, ornamental fruit and good fall foliage color put this new Dogwood on my wish list.

Maybe with a little more global warming, it can survive here.

Woodpeckers and Nuthatches

Red-bellied woodpeckers and white-breasted nuthatches populations are booming as they feast on the larvae of emerald ash borers.

Two of my favorite local birds, commonly seen in our garden.

Michigan is close to Wisconsin, right?

We heard about Dan Heims and Terra Nova Nurseries from Matt Singer at last night's garden walk at Boerner.

We have an Agastache 'Bolero' near the front step, it will be interesting to see if it survives the winter.

Late Season Blooms at Boerner

On Wednesday (9-11-2013), we attended the garden walk at Boerner Botanical Garden.

The topic was late season blooms.

The guide was Matt Singer from Four Season Landscape.

We saw a ton of blooms like asters, coneflowers, turtleheads, black-eyed susans, Ligularia, Anemone, and many others.

We also saw a beautiful white-tipped hemlock.

And we sampled the very tart fruit of the Cornelian cherry dogwood.

A beautiful evening for a garden walk, and lots of fun.

Counts as one hour continuing MGV education.
