It’s almost Memorial Day Weekend, and you know what that means! If you’re a landscaper, it means YOU have no time to read this. But I’ll put it out there anyway, at least a short one.
- More sad news this week: David Miller of Miller Nurseries in Canandaigua has died. Below are David, John and Skip Miller, from left to right.
- From the New York Times, a short survey of current threats to and general lack of understanding of soil life: “The Hidden World Under Our Feet.“
- Also from the Times: “Gnomes Pop Up at Chelsea Flower Show, to Horror of Many.” Hilarious, as these pieces often are.
- On a related gnome-y note: Watch this new IKEA spot for a chortle.
- Congratulations! SUNY Empire State College announced Kimie Romeo ‘08 (also of Broccolo TLC, Green Drinks, etc.) received the Excellence in Environmental Sustainability award.
- From Today’s Garden Center: Spring 2013 Trend Watch. Top performers now:
- Vegetables
- Pottery and containers
- Hanging baskets
- Custom projects, like container gardens or small garden bed designs
- Shrubs
Mainstream interest in organics continues to surprise me.
- Needed: Volunteer to till some vacant lots in Rochester, 1/2 acre total, for Greentopia Green Visions workforce development/phytoremediation program. Email [email protected].
