Trees are a big investment. This isn’t only because they often have a hefty price tag, but also because they take up a lot of garden real estate and aren’t plants that you’ll be able to readily relocate. When choosing a tree, it’s important to make sure it performs in all four seasons. It shouldn’t just have lovely spring blooms and decent fall color. It should also have winter interest and other noteworthy traits that shine when it’s not at its peak. And a tree should be largely pest- and disease-free, with low needs when it comes to care. After all, who wants to invest in a plant that will require 50 years of high maintenance?
Many modern landscapes are small. The amount of space we have to garden is shrinking, as people want the blend of suburban life along with the conveniences of city living. Even where space might be available, a lot of avid gardeners still have other interests and obligations, leaving less time to cultivate a large plot. When space and time are at a premium, turning to small shrubs can be the answer. In this webinar, Mark Weathington, director of the acclaimed JC Raulston Arboretum in North Carolina, will share some of his top shrub picks for creating diversity, interest, and excitement where space is limited and every plant must earn its place in the garden.
