Conversations with Alaska Gardeners
About
On this sunny pre-solstice edition of Conversations with Alaskan Gardeners, Margaret Tharp and David Lundrum share exciting new arrivals at Landscape Alaska, including hardy hybrid Japanese maples, colorful dwarf conifers, blooming peonies, hydrangea trees, lilacs, and fruit-producing blueberry varieties. They discuss lessons learned from Juneau’s harsh winter, offer tips for recovering damaged plants, and highlight natural pest-control solutions like beneficial insects and nematodes. Listeners also get a preview of Father's Day and Summer Solstice sale specials, advice on protecting arborvitae from snow damage, and an invitation to visit the nursery and experience one of Juneau's most beautiful garden destinations.
