A very choice selection of Astilboides tabularis I am naming var. frozeniensis. It took me decades of growing #astilboidestabularis and a 31-degree mid-May night to achieve this. Good job, Margaret. #awaytogarden #shadegarden #hellonwheels

A really cut guy at the gym said anabolic steroids really make you bulk up fast so I gave them to the asparagus. #truestory #ohsure #awaytogarden

No not a hungry caterpillar…a catkin of giant pussy willow dropped onto a dwarf conifer below. Had me fooled for half a second. #awaytogarden #salixchaenomeloides

The gold medal for bravery is awarded to #eranthishyemalis the winter aconite. They started blooming February 15, and then a couple of small snows fell and then a whopper more than knee-deep last week, but do they care? Not a bit. #awaytogarden #winteraconite

FROM THE WEEKLY PODCAST

rethinking the lawn, with dan wilder

THE LECTURE that he’s been giving for a number of years is not-so-subtly called “Kill Your Lawn.” Ecological horticulturist Dan Jaffe Wilder knows that starting over and creating an entire native habitat instead of a lawn isn’t for everyone. But Dan just wants to grab our attention and get us to start to make some changes at least in the way we care for the turfgrass we do want in our landscapes. And maybe give up a little square footage of it to some other kind of more diverse planting, too, like the wild strawberries (Fragaria virginiana, inset). Alternative, more eco-focused styles of lawn care, along with some lawn alternatives is what he and I talked about on the podcast. Dan is Director of Applied Ecology at Norcross Wildlife Foundation in Wales, Massachusetts, and its 8,000-acre sanctuary. He’s also co-author with Mark Richardson of the book “Native Plants for New England Gardens.”

Welcome! I’m Margaret Roach, a leading garden writer for 30 years—at ‘Martha Stewart Living,’ ‘Newsday,’ and in three books. Since April 2020, I have been the garden columnist for “The New York Times,” where I began my journalism career decades ago. I host a public-radio podcast; I also lecture, plus hold tours at my 2.3-acre Hudson Valley (NY) Zone 5B garden in “normal” years, and always say no to chemicals and yes to great plants.
