How do you know about plants?

Where did you all get this information that I ask for..? :o) Sometimes I wonder if I'm following advice from a master Horticulturist, or a fifth-grader with a marigold in a styrofoam cup on the winowsill... Lol...

How do you know about plants?
I have studied Horticulture since high school. and i read alot of books on plants, all kind of plants. I am also a Master Gardener. I usually dont read anything i cant learn something from. So there goes any smut reading for me. One thing is to let people know where you live like what zone. or part of the country. or what your winters and summer are like. this help me to help you better. OH plant he marigold outside in the garden or a larger pot.
Reply:Hi:


I am a landscaper and designer. I get my answers from my personal experiences with the world of landscaping and plants. I also have studied them and research plants from all over the world. Many people that answer questions come from all walks of life. Correct information is the key to helping others and also a love and a passion for what you are doing.


One never knows when you ask a question if it is truly the right answer. Your goal is to read the answer and see if it makes sense to you. Hope this helps. I will link you to the site map of my website. Browse through and see if there is any information that may help you with plant specimens or the world of landscaping. Have a great day!

I've been gardening for 35 years. In the winter, when I don't actually have my hands in the dirt, I bring home piles of books from the library, and read about different topics in gardening. Permaculture, companion planting, organic home remedies, disease and pest ID and control, or specific to additions I'm planning...be it fruit crops, cover crops, herbs, trees, whatever catches my eye.
Reply:Library books,magazines,books I own My grandmother,love of plants just trial and error if something doesn't grow either do two things try something new with that plant or a new plant.Over the years what I like and what I can grow well are not always the same thing.So what does well stays and multiplies and what doesn't goes out to make room for something new.Life is a garden tend it well.lol.
