Conserve Water with Xeriscape

Consider allocating a portion of your garden to native Okanagan plants which thrive in our semi-arid valley.

Basic pruning requires little more than the removal of dead, damaged, or diseased wood to maintain the health of the plant.

There are no absolutes in gardening. What I consider in some situations to be ‘garden thugs’ are ‘landscape heroes’ under other conditions.

Leave the leaves! Don’t stress over fall garden clean-up. Just leave the leaves on the ground where they fall.

Fall is the ideal time to get a jump on next year’s garden by planting a pop of colour in the spring garden.

Fall is a much better time for planting perennials. Find out all of the benefits in this article.
