Small shrubs are big. I'm seeing more and more of them in Midwest gardens and landscapes, adding structure and texture. People are loving these shrubs not only because they fit easily into today's shrinking yards but also because they are easy to maintain, requiring little to no pruning....
your yard will look in all four seasons when planning your landscape. Many yards look terrific in the spring and early summer, but by fall, they fade. Choose perennials and annuals that offer late-season color and shrubs and trees that bear colorful berries or interesting bark in the winter...
If you have foundation beds or landscaping planted with shrubs and perennials, don’t overlook the opportunity to tuck in seasonal annuals or herbs. This is one of those small-space garden ideas that works beautifully without adding more containers or digging up new garden space. Look for open...
An afternoon in the garden can be incredibly satisfying. You pulled weeds from all the planting beds, laid fresh mulch where needed, pruned the scraggliest shrubs, and repotted root-bound plants. You have a stunning yard to show for your hours of work. However, you also have dirt under y...
This was later used as data on presence/absence (p/a) of lichens and bryophytes in each sample and, for dwarf-shrubs, as p/a of the two species C. vulgaris and V. vitis-idaea. At this time we also noted the dominant understorey species and the total vegetation cover (%) in the ...
(bare soil in spring) to 19.3 (beneath shrubs in winter) grass seeds are expected in a similar sized area of soil, with a similar biomass density to the expected average for grass seeds during winter (~ 0.1 mg/cm2) and 36% of the biomass of all consumable seeds (those in the ...
Thus, it is not clear whether sun-grown or shade-grown foliage is more palatable to herbivores, and the different patterns observed with adelgids and sawflies in the present study suggest that the effect could differ between herbivore species. For instance, previous work suggested that lower-...
Garden bed stairs mixed with some ornamental grasses for those shade-loving veggies, or even some fruit trees to give a leisure area some shade. You could add a system to collect rainwater if your property is prone to pooling or flooding. No Yard? How to Plant in a Smaller Space ...

Yellow rows are the “glabrata complex” of woody shrubs and small trees. There have been no large scale genetic analyses of the genus, so groupings are based purely on morphology and chromosome counts. All entries with question marks are my speculation. Hopefully it will be possible to fill...
