Reflecting on Fall: How Did Your Garden Grow?
After you have finished all of your fall planting, it is always a great idea to reflect on your garden from the past season and evaluate how everything did. I like to take “inventory” of everything I planted in the spring and summer and keep a garden journal with their progress. It is important to note what did well and what may not have met your expectations. For those plants that grew, bloomed, and wowed – make note to plant more next spring.

Renewing Hope: Re-Planting a Vermont Town
Flowers symbolize hope, new beginnings, and renewal – everything that encompassed the town of Wilmington after Tropical Storm Irene. I knew that I could use my resources as an employee of American Meadows, and the generosity of its owners, to help bring life back into the devastated community.

Not just your plain, old, yellow daffodils.
Everyone knows, and loves, Dutchmaster Daffodils. They are bright, hardy, and will come back in multitudes year after year. What’s there not to like? Although we agree that Dutch Master King Alfred Improved Daffodils are fantastic, we want to highlight some other daffodils that have their own charm and place in every garden.
