As the season warms, the pansy fades. What to do? Welcome the zinnia to your garden party! The colorful and hardy zinnia is no shrinking violet. It's the belle of the ball. A summer flower garden requires plants with three basic elements: ease of propagation, heat and drought tolerance, and dazzling color. The zinnia fits the bill. Zinnias love heat. Planting when the nighttime temperatures are still below 60 degrees does not please the zinnia. It's best to postpone sowing seeds until the soil has consistently warmed. In Central Virginia, zinnia seeds can be planted in late May, late June, and even late July. The zinnia is one of the easiest and most satisfying flowers to grow. It's considered an annual, meaning that it goes from seed to flower to seed quickly or in one growing season. Annuals grow from seed or reseed themselves every year. Unlike perennials, the zinnia doesn't need several seasons to establish itself. The seedlings can...

Sheltering at home, the Darwinian Gardener is spending more time observing the natural world around him. And he doesn't always like what he sees. The Darwinian Gardener was pleased when the rain started. It had been a dry spring and walking on his lawn was beginning to feel and sound like treading on cornflakes. But, as it always does, the rainy days returned. And plants in his yard that days before seemed like mere weeds blossomed into wildflowers. A nice effect. But wait, who is this man who considers his lawn as something largely beyond his control. And indeed, something that's not even his job. The Darwinian Gardener is Florida's foremost exponent of survival-of-the-fittest lawn-and-garden care. He's not there to create a green carpet on a lot that eons ago was a sand dune on a shoreline. He's at home with the geology the came with the place. And now that many of us are forced to stay near our yards more than usual, it's an excellent time to ...

Lynden continues to accept new paid memberships.  Get daily updates on the Packers during the season.

With the warmer weather comes days when a cold dinner is the most appealing. And at the end of a hot day spent in the garden, or on vigorous outdoor pursuits, nothing tastes more refreshing than a mix of fresh crisp greens and veggies. You may grow many of the salad "fixin's" yourself: lettuce, mesclun mixes, tomatoes, radishes and chard are all grown by many Central Coast gardeners. What you may not have tried yet is growing edible flowers, specifically for use in your salads and other dishes. If you order a salad at some local restaurants, you are almost sure to find flowers among your greens. Nasturtiums, violas and calendulas are the flowers that are most often used. These are easily grown here, offering beautiful blooms to dress up both your garden and your dinner table. Nasturtiums flower in summer, while violas and calendulas flower in winter or year round in cool coastal climates. The flowers of some of our vegetables are as tasty as the vegetables themselves,...

"The Garden," however, stands juxtaposed. At the end of a long journey, it offers something different in the eye of each beholder: to a repentant Diyoza who's exhausted from all the fighting, it's an oasis, a safehold. Home. To a headstrong Octavia who misses her brother and always needs to make things right, it's a beautiful and meaningful place to lick her wounds and plan, but ultimately still a prison. For a little while anyway. Il faut cultiver notre jardin. We must tend to our garden. It's the last line of the satirical novel Candide, which features a long journey of its own. Some take it to mean that the journey was for nothing, or that Candide should toil away as a distraction from the great philosophical questions. But it always struck me that we should each find some metaphorical patch of this Earth and tend to it, invest in it, make it better in some way, and make it our garden. For Diyoza, Octavia, and Hope, Sky Rim – or really, th...

MACKINAC ISLAND, MI – Perched high on Mackinac Island's West Bluff, the Inn at Stonecliffe is rolling out a new concept this summer that is already getting a lot of attention: A food truck-style experience and beer garden spread out on the historic spot's expansive lawn. An added bonus? The postcard-perfect view of the Mackinac Bridge and the Straits of Mackinac. It's a new twist for Stonecliffe, a large Tudor-style mansion that is a popular overnight lodging spot for vacationers as well as a dining destination. Its location away from the island's downtown rush means many people seek it out specifically because it's a bit of stately solace from the crowds. General Manager Stefanie Congdon said this year's new on-site dining approach was a little creativity born of the need to find a different way forward. Stonecliffe's Cudahy Chophouse is temporarily closed, as the coronavirus era's new health and safety regulations would make it tricky to operate in an ...

Unless you borrow money to invest, the potential losses are limited. But when you pick a company that is really flourishing, you can make more than 100%. For example, the Country Garden Services Holdings Company Limited (HKG:6098) share price had more than doubled in just one year - up 142%. It's also good to see the share price up 17% over the last quarter. We'll need to follow Country Garden Services Holdings for a while to get a better sense of its share price trend, since it hasn't been listed for particularly long. Check out our latest analysis for Country Garden Services Holdings To paraphrase Benjamin Graham: Over the short term the market is a voting machine, but over the long term it's a weighing machine. One way to examine how market sentiment has changed over time is to look at the interaction between a company's share price and its earnings per share (EPS). During the last year Country Garden Services Holdings grew its earnings per share (EPS) by 70%. T...

GARDEN CITY, NY — Residents of the Garden City School District will vote by absentee ballot this year on the district's proposed 2020-21 school budget, as well as elect the school board and library trustees.

Ten-year-old Maxi has had a lot of free time on his hands. As Bavaria reopened beer gardens this week, he had already put it to good use making sure his cuddly friend didn't miss out. Maxi and his mother's friend, Corinna Schmitt, have been leaving food out on the miniature picnic table, complete with tiny beer mug which they fill with nuts, seeds and raisins. The curious squirrel, which they have named "Madame" now visits Schmitt's balcony at least once a day. Schmitt has even made an Instagram account for her, which has seen several people commissioning Maxi to make similar tiny benches for them. Wild Dogs v Impala | Impala Fights Back as Guts Fall Out

JOHOR BAHRU, Malaysia, May 20, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In March 2020, Country Garden Real Estate (CGRE) successfully issued three tranches of Islamic Sukuk for a total of MYR495 million, with the longest tenure among them being seven years. Following the recent crisis of global financial markets due to the COVID-19 outbreak. These issuances are the reflection of the positive reception of the Company's most significant project, "Forest City", as well as the demonstration of confidence that Malaysian capital markets have in both Country Garden Group and CGRE's long term growth in Malaysia. This is also shown by RAM Ratings that in Sep 2019 reaffirmed the AA3/Stable rating of CGRE's Islamic Medium-Term Note (IMTN) Program. Malaysia is currently one of the biggest markets for Islamic finance in the world. Sukuks are Islamic financial certificates (similar to a bond), that complies with Islamic religious law commonly known as Syariah. Sukuks had become extremely popul...

WILLIAMSVILLE, N.Y. — Many events across Western New York are being cancelled, postponed or changed due to the coronavirus pandemic, including several events in the Village of Williamsville.  The village announced Monday that Garden Walk Williamsville will not be held in person this year. Organizers for the event will debut a virtual format instead, allowing people to submit photos and videos of residential and municipal gardens through social media. The Garden Walk is held annually on the third Saturday in July. "In an effort to bring the beauty of all gardens to the public, our volunteer committee wants you to share your photos and videos of your own gardens, no matter if you live in the village or not," the village's Garden Walk committee organizers said in a statement.  The Glen Park Art Festival is also switching to a virtual format.

The Victoria Day long weekend is traditionally the busiest time of the year for garden centres and there was a lineup to get into the parking lot at Jardin Jasmin in St-Laurent on Saturday. The family-owned business was dealing with a double whammy. Crowds were bigger because stores are not open on Sunday and they had limited the number of carts allowed on the 11-acre sit...

The blaring of truck horns wafted into the Rose Garden, nearly drowning out some of the speakers Friday during a White House event about vaccines. WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump says the sound of truck horns honking just south of the White House is a "sign of love" for him from truckers. But the truckers are actually protesting over low shipping rates. "They're protesting in favor of President Trump," he said in the Rose Garden on Friday during an announcement about vaccine development. The blaring of truck horns wafted across the Ellipse and into the sun-splashed garden, nearly drowning out some of the speakers. "Those are truckers that are with us all the way," he said. But the drivers wh...

It should have been one of the most colorful times of the year for the Atlanta Botanical Garden, but COVID-19 meant that spring sprung in the grounds of the garden with no one to see it.  Now, after two months, the garden has announced that it will once again welcome visitors. But first, members will get a week to themselves, beginning on Monday, May 18, and ...

ANN ARBOR, MI — Those looking forward to seeing the spectacular display of peonies this spring at the University of Michigan's Nichols Arboretum are going to have to wait another year. Bob Grese, director of UM's Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum, is asking people to skip their annual visit because of COVID-19. "The celebration of the annual peony bloom in the arboretum and the crowds that usually attend will not happen this year," Grese said in a news release. "All of us across the UM campuses are feeling not only the impact of the pandemic on our lives but also the disappointment of having to cancel so many events." Even though there won't be visitors, the peonies will continue to bloom in an empty room, the release states. However, Grese noted that online content will help make up for the loss of in-person visitors to the peony garden. "We're ramping up efforts to get a lot of peony content online, both to our dedicated peony w...

CLICK HERE if you're having trouble viewing media on a mobile device. The Morcom Amphitheater of Roses, a 7.5 acre city park in north Oakland, is in bloom now through late October. During the Great Depression, as municipal rose gardens became popular in many communities across the nation, the city established the garden on an arroyo that slopes downward from Oakland Avenue and opens to the south end of Jean Street just above Grand Avenue through the federal Works Progress Administration. It was designed by landscape architect and Alameda native Arthur Cobbledick and planted in V, according to The Living New Deal. Named as one of the top 10 municipal rose gardens in America, it was laid out in 1933 and will celebrate its 87th anniversary this year. The project sprang up as members of the Businessmen's Breakfast Club, a local businessmen's garden club, wanted to boost the city's mood amid the historic economic downturn. Oakland's then-Mayor Frederick Morcom ...

After the success of Aspire Corporate Plaza, Golden Bay Land Holdings' Pioneer project, the boutique land developer ventures on to its first residential project: Garden City. Ground-breaking this May 2020, this six tower development stands at 17 stories high within Bacoor City, near the future LRT Bacoor Station. Golden Bay Landholdings' COO Jardin Wong shares that it's a "full-pledged mini city that features a good work-life-play balance for residents." The residential development will house select floors for offices and a retail strip for the convenience of its inhabitants. "After the momentum we've had from Aspire Corporate Plaza, we're keeping the energy going with this larger project. I think the execution will be much smoother than our last project because of our operational experience but the pressure is definitely higher," says Wong. He and his team are hard at work at making Garden City true to its name: a refreshing paradise e...

Many gardeners tout the advantages of selecting native plants. These plants fit neatly into our microclimates, tend to be drought-tolerant, yet can handle our wet winters and provide food for native bees, butterflies and birds. But, what about food for us? Can a native plant garden also be an edible garden? Indigenous people munched and cooked native plants, of course — they had little choice. And today, some ingenious chefs forage for unique ingredients from native plant sources. But, I wanted to grow edibles in a garden, not try to identify them in the wild. So, rather than foraging outside, I foraged through research libraries, literature and cookbooks to find edible native plants I would want to eat. (Edible, I learned, doesn't always mean tasty.) Then, I searched online for California native plant nurseries to see if I could actually purchase my finds. I found more than I expected. Here's a selection. If I had room, I'd plant a blue elderberry tree (Sambucus nigr...

ROSWELL, GA — As the science lab and garden teacher at Roswell North Elementary, Liz Rains can often be found in the school's garden. On the weekend, over the summer and other school breaks - she's there. "It's a labor of love," she said. And there's nothing she loves more than sharing the garden's harvest with the community. Over the years, the Roswell North Elementary garden has donated nearly 2,000 pounds of produce to North Fulton Community Charities, but this year, the first crop of lettuce went somewhere new. Rains delivered 25 heads of lettuce and kale to RO Hospitality's Table & Aid, a community relief effort supporting the newly food insecure. "It was a pleasure to deliver the first crop of lettuce to Table & Aid," Rains said. "I only wish the students could have been there with me to harvest and pack. The importance of sharing with the community is just one of many lessons to be learned in the garden." The Roswell ...

Solar lights are any type of lighting you install in your yard that's powered by the sun, which makes them an incredibly sustainable option. These lights are available for purchase almost anywhere garden supplies are sold, and their price can vary depending on where you're shopping and what you're looking for. A single light stake, like Mainstay's solar-powered light stake ($2.97, walmart.com) retails under three dollars a piece, high-end lights that require professional installation can run a homeowner hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars. Solar lights are the perfect way to illuminate a garden path or add another layer of security to an otherwise dark space in your yard, all while being more eco-friendly. Whatever your reason for wanting solar lights, three experts explain everything you need to know before adding them to your outdoor space.

Andrew Morse, executive director of Flowers Canada Ontario, which represents about 180 Ontario producers of cut flowers, potted plants and hanging baskets, said every other province has allowed garden centres to open up, with strict protocols in place. Monday "seems more like a close-down than an opening-up," he told the Star on Sunday. Most flower growers do upwards of 60 per cent of their sales between Easter and Mother's Day, which is this coming Sunday. "Considering that Easter has already been a write off, if we're unable to make sales for Mother's Day the industry will see some fairly substantial pain." He likened it to telling a retailer told they couldn't sell "for the two weeks leading up to Christmas and all the products that they would have sold they have to dispose of." Between March 13 and April 10, flower growers estimate they lost $52.5 million in sales. After Ford...

Sure, we'd all like to have a garden like Oprah or Ina. But some of us live in homes or apartments with backyards that don't stretch as far as the eye can see (we know, shocking!). That's why we put together a list of the best fruits and vegetables you can grow in your very own victory garden, even if it is a tiny sliver of soil. Here, our 10 favorite fruits and veggies for tiny garden spaces. Tomatoes are the John Mayer of the vegetable world: They're universally well-liked and pretty laid back. You can grow them as hanging tomato plants or vertically in a container. Plus, smaller tomato varieties, like Little Sicily, as well as a variety that is ideal for hanging baskets , called Tumbling Tom, grow pretty fast, which means you don't need to wait for months to yield a good crop in your own backyard. Herbs, like basil, parsley, cilantro, chives, dill, are one of the easiest plants to grow, since you can grow them indoors or out (spring through autumn is best if they...

The coronavirus pandemic has set off a global gardening boom. In the early days of lockdown, seed suppliers were depleted of inventory and reported "unprecedented" demand. Within the U.S., the trend has been compared to World War II victory gardening, when Americans grew food at home to support the war effort and feed their families. The analogy is surely convenient. But it reveals only one piece in a much bigger story about why people garden in hard times. Americans have long turned to the soil in moments of upheaval to manage anxieties and imagine alternatives. My research has even led me to see gardening as a hidden landscape of desire for belonging and connection; for contact with nature; and for creative expression and improved health. These motives have varied across time as growers respond to different historical circumstances. Today, what drives people to garden may not be the fear of hunger so much as hunger for physical contact, hope for nature's resilience and ...
