Easy Gardening

A whole lotta garden-coaching is going on over on the garden-center blog I write for.

First up, I show off my favorite and most-recommended shrubs for turning a yard into a garden with big, showy ones, most of them fast-growing.  Cheap, too.  Like the Weigela above – ‘White Knight’ on the left, common pink on the right.

I’ve also compiled my favorite perennials and shrubs that brighten even the darkest of shady spots. Like the Euonymus ‘Emerald Gaiety’ above left or the Bottlebrush Buckeye on the right.  Recommended perennials include Euphorbia amygdaloides, Solomon’s Seal, Hardy Begonia and Hakonechloa grass.
