Stories from the GardenStories from the Garden: Lambs EarToday, I want to discuss a common garden plant called Lamb’s Ears (Stachys). It’s an effective edging plant that allows other colors to shine. Its soft foliage makes it a cozy and pleasant plant to talk about or share with friends.The name “Lamb’s Ears” is quite obvious, as it resembles the soft texture of a lamb’s ear. Early horticulturists and botanists likely felt the plant’s softness and named it accordingly. While I haven’t been close to lamb’s ears, I’ve been close to lamb’s wool, and I think the name fits well.2025-06-1305 minStories from the GardenDr. A's Top Picks for the Garden: Japanese MapleI highly recommend these to anyone willing to listen. If you're looking for one more reason to shop around for a Japanese Maple or need to persuade someone else, enjoy today's episode and feel free to share it with a friend.2025-06-0605 minStories from the GardenStories from the Garden: PigsqueakToday, we'll discuss a plant with a fun common name and share an embarrassing story of mine. Many people enjoy it as a garden plant as well. The plant is known as "pig squeak"—what a fantastic name! It's also sometimes called "pig squeal." I think those names are much more entertaining than it's botanical name, Bergenia. Another common name for it is "elephant ears."2025-05-3006 minStories from the GardenDr. A's Top Picks for the Garden: RudbeckiaSharing a successful plant with others is truly rewarding. A beautiful plant not only enhances the aesthetics of your garden but also attracts pollinators and is native to the area. This morning, I want to highlight the yellow or golden coneflower, commonly known as Rudbeckia. Rudbeckia is native to a significant portion of the American landscape. Interestingly, Linnaeus named it during the development of binomial nomenclature in taxonomy. This plant is an excellent choice, and there are many varieties that would be perfect for your garden.2025-05-2305 minStories from the GardenStories from the Garden- Pleurisy WeedI'm not exactly sure how enjoyable it is to listen to why a plant is called pleurisy weed. But stick with me to learn where it got its name and how that name has changed over time. 2025-05-1606 minStories from the GardenDr. A's Top Picks for the Garden: SpireaToday, I want to share my enthusiasm for a specific plant that I've fallen in love with: the Spirea.

One of my favorites is the Gold Mound Spirea.2025-05-0905 minStories from the GardenStories from the Garden: VitexAlthough this may seem somewhat scandalous, we will have a great time discovering why Vitex is commonly referred to as the Chaste tree and whether it truly lives up to its name.2025-04-2505 minStories from the GardenDr. A's Top Picks for the Garden: Purple FennelWhat do butterflies and licorice have to do with a beautiful garden? In any garden, purple fennel is one of the best plants to add. However, when you have a small space and need to tuck in herbs, vegetables, and more, purple fennel is at the top of my list.2025-04-1805 minStories from the GardenStories from the Garden: MonardaYou might assume that a native plant named Bee Balm would attract bees and butterflies, but that assumption could be misleading. The true story behind the common name Bee Balm is somewhat different.2025-04-1106 minStories from the GardenDr. A's Top Picks for the Garden: HelleboreThis shade-loving perennial has been gaining popularity lately, and I can’t get enough of it. In your grandmother’s garden, it would reseed and function almost like a ground cover. However, today’s new hybrids are introducing us to some truly spectacular Hellebores.2025-04-0405 min
