The Growing Season, April 19, 2025 - Celebrating Spring pt. 2

Jurassic Park and horticulture meet in the middle!   The McFarland’s continue to celebrate spring by highlighting a significant scientific achievement.  How can this achievement be applied to horticulture? Lumber? Medicine?  Jack, Lynne and Matt find answers to these questions on this week’s episode of The Growing Season.  Increasing the lifespan of your evergreen uprights comes into direct focus.  The pruning of your large horticultural organisms and flowering shrubs is the sandbox the McFarlands find themselves in.  Form and function pruning is discussed.  Matt hates Forsythia. HATES. He discusses why.  Squirrel relocation is a story to behold.  Roses and their relationship with sun and space is outlined.  Airflow, sunlight and rain penetration… Centre pruning is the answer to many of your rose issues.  Pyramids and triangles become an argument.  How do upright evergreens keep their conical shape. Matt explains.  Easter and plants. The McFarlands discuss. Tune in. Looking to book a consult for your property?  We"d love to help.  CLICK HERE. What is a TGS Tiny Garden? CLICK HERE.
