Henry Homeyer: The 'no work' garden - Concord Monitor

More than a dozen years ago I planted bulbs for my friend in another part of the property. My goal was for her to have blossoms from March until late May from spring bulbs, and the bulbs are still going strong: first snowdrops in March, followed by crocus, then daffodils. I selected daffies for their bloom time: some early, some mid-season, some that are bloom in late May. Like everything at this property, the goal was to have no-labor or low-labor beds, so the beds were well mulched with chipped bark.What other plants grow at this garden? She had a steep rocky hillside with gravelly, poor soil. Grass grew on it, but it was impossible to mow. Someone suggested a creeping sumac, and she had it installed. It is variously called skunkbush sumac, creeping three-leafed sumac, or Rhus trilobata “Autumn Amber.”The Autumn Amber sumac is a trademarked variety, and boasts of ”a profusion of small chartreuse-colored flowers that bloom in delicate clusters before new foliage appears.” In fall the leaves transform into “striking hues of ambers, yellows, oranges and/or reds before dropping for the winter”. I have only seen it but once before, even though it is hardy to Zone 4. It is supposed to be very good for tough, hot dry places. It is dense enough that I saw no grass growing through it.Each year my friend picks a theme for her garden by the kitchen door. This year she focused on birds: metal birds, colorful bird houses, hummingbird feeders. She likes to find flourishes for the plants at yard sales and thrift stores, trying to keep her purchases to under $5.I asked my friend how she would describe herself as a gardener. “I’m a lazy gardener who doesn’t like to weed. I love color and whimsy and like to re-purpose everyday objects.” Nothing wrong with that – it gives her more time to volunteer, and take walks on her woodland trails.Adblock test (Why?)...

Where will the Urban Roots Garden Centre be in Coquitlam? - The Tri-City News

In Coquitlam, the store is proposed for the vacant property east of Coquitlam Centre mall by Walmart; the Morguard land at 1150 The High will be leased until Nov. 30. In Port Moody, council OK’d the temporary use permit by CityState Consulting last month for a pop-up garden facility at the corner of Clarke and Kyle streets, for two years. Other Urban Roots Garden Market locations in the works are at: • 1755 Cottrell St., Vancouver • 2901 East Hastings St., Vancouver • 4506 Rupert St., Vancouver • 6191 West Boulevard, Vancouver • 20090 91A Ave., township of Langley CityState’s Carola Alder told the Tri-City News that the seven centres are in response to the COVID-19 pandemic as more people work remotely and want to update their homes. “People are also outside more and spending more time in their gardens,” she said on Tuesday. If approved after the public hearing, the Coquitlam site would start operating in late March, under three steel-frame peak tents, seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (11 a.m. on Sundays). As well, CityState is working with the parks department to tie in a pop-up parklet. There will be on-site parking for 20 vehicles and two accessible spaces, with access off Baldwin Street, said Edison Ting, a development planner with the city of Coquitlam; the current chain-link fence around the gravel-surface property will stay in place, he said.
