We’re almost through the month of May and the peonies are getting ready to bloom.
Maybe you’re wondering if it’s too late to plant flowers or get some seeds in the vegetable plot. Well, it’s not!
MPR News host Angela Davis talked with two horticultural experts about how to make our yards and gardens flourish as we head into summer.
They talked about all the things you can still plant this season, ways to make your yard more friendly to the birds and the bees and how to adapt to the longer and warmer growing seasons brought by climate change.
Guests:
Laura Irish-Hanson is a horticulture educator with the University of Minnesota Extension. She works primarily out of the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum in Chaska.
Catherine Grant is a horticulturalist and manages the greenhouses, medicinal garden and pollinator habitat for the Department of Biology at the University of St. Thomas in Saint Paul.
