Selecting Shade Trees - The Great Eight
There are several points to consider before selecting a shade tree for your yard. Following is a list of things to consider.
1. Size - Be sure to look into the full grown size of your shade tree. Will it fit well in the place you want to plant?
2. Location - You want your shade tree to do the most for you in the location you choose. You must also watch out for utilities such as power lines, under ground sewer lines etc.
3. Trees can also be planted to screen out unwanted views.

In the Garden
Blog by Judy from Botanical Interests Seeds
While my garden is my reprieve-a place to recharge-I like to share it with my sweet, bee friends, and at this time of year the garden is a-buzzzz with bees. I need these hard working, fuzzy heroes to pollinate. Did you know that there are over 4,000 native species of bees in North America? Talk about diversity! Some bees are generalists, like the European Honey Bee, collecting pollen from a number of various plants, while other bees are specialists, pollinating specific plants-like squash bees with squash and pumpkins.
