Pruning, Winterizing & Growing a Better Juneau Garden

Conversations with Alaska Gardeners

About

 David Lendrum and Margaret Tharp of Landscape Alaska discuss how trees respond to pruning wounds, preparing arborvitaes and other plants for winter, and giving lawns, trees, shrubs, and perennials their final fertilizing of the season. They also share tips for dividing primroses, growing lawns in sand, adding late-season color with asters, and choosing plants like Japanese maples and dwarf conifers. The episode also features advice on using layered plantings to reduce noise and keeping vegetation trimmed away from stop signs and intersections. 09-05-26
