🌿discovering that nandina is an invasive plant in my area was soooo devastating 🌿

° 、　✧　　‘ 🌻 ✰ , °

nandina (heavenly bamboo) is my favorite shrub!! it is sooo pretty and changes colors throughout the year 🍁 but i can't justify or recommend planting it ornamentally anymore!!

from what ive learned, it hails from asia— in china and japan, and was imported into the US as an ornamental shrub, used as yard dividers in the 70s. and eventually it spread so fast that it ended up in the woods and wilded areas.

the way it grows can be devastating to smaller plants on the wooded floor, as it will grow overtop of everything, shading plants under it and taking all of the sunlight for itself, which in turn doesnt allow the native plants in the area to thrive.

🌳🌿💜 This was quite the goal lol; Finishing the front garden. We had to dig up 3 small tree stumps, and pull up the old landscaping fabric that the previous owners left in the garden. Planted a dwarf korean lilac tree, a burning bush, and 2 lil goldflame spirea. Now to decorate ☺️ I need a bird bath, and some cutie pie ornaments! 💜🌿🌳

Gardening in Colorado is Challenging to Say the Least

Gardening in Colorado is challenging! While tulips might be peeking out, the forecast predicts snow.  I lived here all my life, and gardened as long as I can remember. Didn’t I say Gardening in Colorado is challenging! Yep, thought I did. From the short growing season to the huge hail storms. Still, we’ll soon be able to tackle April chores as our gardens emerge from winter’s sleep. Thanks to Kim…
