SUMMER SCHOOL FOR GARDENERS!

During a recent in-studio interview at WNBP in Newburyport, MA with 'GardenPup', clearly grooving to 'The Legends' musical selections, 'GardenAuthor' posed the following questions, in behalf of local gardeners and gardeners everywhere...

"Tell us, Lucy-Maude, would you recommend that folks listen to WNBP on Sunday mornings, from 8-10:00a, for weekly garden updates and answers to all those knotty garden problems?"

"Do you think they know about live-streaming at wnbp.com? And that anyone, from any garden on earth, can now listen and join in the Sunday garden conversation?"

"Tell all the local gardeners that our ever-popular, Saturday morning garden workshops are about to recommence, with a four-week summer semester? OK! Let's do....."

Corliss Bros. “Saturday Sessions” Return!

SUMMER SCHOOL’S IN SESSION ~ STARTING SATURDAY, JULY 11th

FOUR WEEKS TO HONE THOSE GARDENING SKILLS!

Irrepressible Iris!






Here, in New England, we've enjoyed a real honest-to-goodness spring! The Iris displays have been especially outstanding... from old hybrids (whose proper names are long forgotten), holding their own among the lush weed growth or nestled by stone walls, to the wild yellow flag decorating the banks of an old irrigation pond.

Hope your spring is bringing you pleasure, wherever you garden!
