In The Garden | Landscaping & Gardening






"Nothing is more the child of art than a garden." - Sir Walter Scott, 1828

Growing plants, whether on a 100 acres, a small lot or on the patio is what this website, in-the-garden.org, is dedicated to. Here you will find articles, news and other resources about landscaping and gardening to make your plans and plantings strong and vibrant.

What makes getting one's hands in the soil, flowing water across the land and seeing the green force spring upwards so pleasurable? I no longer ponder that question, I just give thanks for the blessings my garden gives to me. - The Publisher.




Landscaping & Gardening Information

This website contains hundreds of articles. Below you will find, titles, summaries and links to various subjects, as well as index page links to more articles. You will also find a section with the latest news about landscaping and gardening here, too.

Flowering Cherries


Flowering cherry trees - Despite the briefness of their blossoming glory, cherries are the hardy spring-flowering trees for temperate climate gardens.

A Guide for Servicing Your Chainsaw


Chainsaws provide many years of service for very little upkeep. Taking the time to service your chainsaw will help ensure that your equipment will not let you down. For safety reasons, make sure you only service your chainsaw when it is fully cooled, with the spark plug disconnected. If you are working with an electric chainsaw make sure it is unplugged first of all. You should also wear gloves and protection for your eyes.

Catching a Leprechaun in Your Garden


Children, wandering through the flowers of their backyard gardens, can find leprechauns and other fantastical creatures there.

Lifes a Beach--A Shore Theme in your Outdoor Space


Create a "beach garden" in your backyard... Twentieth century American architect Phillip Johnson once said, "I hate vacations. If you can build buildings, why sit on the beach?"

Camellias


Camellias - The Tea Drinker's Plant and a delight in the garden.

Kirengeshoma palmata, the bog plant.


Also known as yellow waxbells, Kirengeshoma palmata is a late-flowering rhizomatous perennial. It grows to 1.2 meters (3-4.5 feet) high with arching stems and is native to the woods and mountain lowlands of Korea and the Japanese islands of Shikoku and Kyushu.

Fuchsia procumbens, New Zealand's Best


Think of fuchsias and chances are the fancy garden hybrids come to mind. Showy as they are, it is easy to see that they are related to wild species such as Fuchsia magellanica, Fuchsia denticulata and Fuchsia triphylla.

Gallica Roses


From the War of the Roses to rose petal beds, Gallica has a rich history. Rosa gallica, also known as the French Rose or Provins Rose, is a species that grows wild from southern and central Europe to the Caucasus. Because it readily produces sports, has a tendency towards double flowers, and may have hybridised naturally with other species, it is likely that the earliest European garden roses were forms of Rosa gallica.

Brazen Flowered Tuberous Begonias


If you like colour, and plenty of it, from a plant that some consider overstated, downright brazen even, then tuberous begonias are for you!

Growing Palm Trees


Palm trees in the garden provide contrast and definition. Everybody recognises palm trees, they are the universal symbol for the tropics, but many are hardy enough for our temperate climate gardens. There are two main styles of palms: the fan and the feather. The names refer to the layout of the fronds.

Cyclamen, a Mother's Day Plant


Cyclamen is best as a cool season houseplant, but still can work in the garden. Think of cyclamen and the chances are that Mothers Day immediately comes to mind, which is something of a pity. Now don't misinterpret me, there's nothing wrong with mothers or with having a day for them, but it does seem a little unfortunate when such beautiful, adaptable and useful plants become so commercialised that there's difficulty escaping that association.

Edgeworthia Chrysantha


A deciduous shrub also known as the Oriental paperbush. While a member of the Thymelaeaceae, the family that includes the daphnes, it would be hard to imagine a plant less like a daphne at first glance. However, if you are familiar with the deciduous Daphne genkwa, there is some hint of resemblance there.

Delavays Blueberry aka Vaccinium delavayi


While genus Vaccinium contains many commercial plants, Vaccinium delavayi is considered an ornamental. Whether we know it or not, most of us are familiar with the genus Vaccinium as it has among its members several edible plants including blueberry, cranberry, bilberry and huckleberry.

The Protea Family (Proteaceae) Ground Covers, Trees and Shrubs


If you tend to neglect your plants consider... The protea family (Proteaceae) which includes a wide range of ground covers, trees and shrubs. While some of the species are frost-tender, they are in all other respects remarkably resilient plants that often thrive in situations where others would rapidly succumb. Poor soils and hot dry positions that scarcely seem capable of supporting life are often ideal for Proteaceae.

Viburnum, A Plant For All Seasons


Viburnums are related to the honeysuckles, so it should come as no surprise that many of them have fragrant flowers. But that's not all they have in their favour. No, this genus includes plants for all seasons and all reasons; foliage, flower, autumn colour, scent, groundcover, shrub or small tree, evergreen or deciduous, it's all there among the 120-odd species and the many hybrids and cultivars. Indeed, they're so variable that it would be quite possible to have an interesting garden of viburnums alone.
