From Front Yard to Rock Garden: Step by Step
What happens when you have to take your shade garden into full sun and wish it was easier to maintain? Make it into a rock garden. That is what I did and I’ll show you every step along the way. I have practical advice for the beginner along with some planting failures and successes for the more experienced gardeners. There are plenty of new and unusual plants to enjoy as I show you how my urban rock garden evolves over seasons and years.

Taiwan: Design Inspiration
PR Listing: “Nov. 7-Sharee Solow, PCH, ASLA, Owner Solow Horticultural Designs-Taiwan: Design Inspiration-An easy place to visit that you might not think of is the subtropical island of Taiwan. Join me as I go shopping for Scholar Rocks, tour the marble-walled Taroko Gorge, muse over the Daan Park reflexology path, and walk around the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial. This immersive visual trip will be interesting for garden designers, gardeners, and anyone interested in a photography trip from the big city of Taipei to the honey-combed rocks of Yehliu Geopark through the eyes of a landscape designer.”

Let’s Look at the New Perennials for 2018
Every year I see dozens of new perennials listed in catalogues and I also see some in person at MANTS. All of them aren’t winners, some look just like what we already have, and only time in the ground will tell us how good they will be in our region. I’ll pull out the ones that look the best and tell you what is supposed to set these apart from the crowd.

Oh Deer, Now What?
Did you look out your window and see someone looking back at you? You may have Odocoileus virginianus. You know, deer! A 150 pound, hosta-eating beast on four legs. They organize mobile feasts with their friends and relatives the day after you go plant shopping so try let’s review how to keep landscapes from looking like grocery stores.
