Late Fall Happenings

I'm often asked what goes on in the Horticulture world after summer and the cold weather starts to set in. Aside from leaf cleanup and keeping the clubhouse grounds looking the best they can with the ever changing weather, a lot of what's going on is planning for the following year. Designing, plant selection, areas for improvement, etc. It's a time where I can let the creative juices flow and find ways to better improve the landscaping. I take notes throughout the year on what plants do well in their particular location and if there's enough plant material, whether it's too many or too little. Then around this time of year, I sit down and review those notes and figure out how I want to utilize certain plants next year and what new plants I can incorporate into the landscape.

I hope everyone has a great holiday season and until next time...
