Joining WCBL on Coffee Call recently was Master Gardener Barbara Ray. She says with people spending more time at home, gardening has become much more popular. And with Mother’s Day coming up, hanging baskets will be very popular as a gift. Ray says to keep in mind where the basket will be placed before buying and determine whether it will be in direct sunlight, partial sun or shade. Once you know that, you can better choose a hanging basket that will thrive in those conditions. For more information on gardening, you can find a great source at the extension office, including free booklets to help get you started.
The Boston Fern is great for a shady area in your garden.
