I am not plant savy.
In fact, for most of my life I thought that shrubs were non-flowering plants, that the majority of vegetables grew on small trees, and that succulent was a dirty word.
And seeing as how this spring I wanna grow stuff in the ground, I am so happy to discover an awesome gardener’s tool over at Better Homes & Gardens. They have a Plant Encyclopedia!
It’s a groovy little tool to make you into an elite green-thumber, tree-hugger and gardening-guru.
All you gotta do is type in your specific requirements of what you are looking for and BHG spits out the options to meet your needs. Check it out – all I did was type in perennials in my zone that grew in partial sun and under 3 feet tall:
And that is only the first 2 pages of options! Plus they give you additional planting information for each plant so gardening has never been this easy! So go on – play in the dirt again…
What a great find! I was actually looking through gardening magazines last night wondering what the heck I’m going to do. Thanks for the site!
I am SO gonna use this. My thumb is brown, and not just cuz I’m brown but because I kill all plants! This will help me, thanks.
Love it! Thanks for the link.
Wow, that is really cool. I’ll have to use that so I can add some more variety to my flower garden. Thanks for the tip.
We’ve got a huge backyard to landscape this summer – thanks so much for the tip.
fancy! now…if they could magically keep me from killing everything green i touch…that would be perfect.
You seriously ROCK MY WORLD.
That’s all.
No way! This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! Thanks.
That is awesome! I will SO be using this.
oo! Fun! Thank you!!
