That’s a TON of material. EXACTLY! Jack, Lynne and Matt McFarland discuss rockeries and the plants that thrive in them on this week’s episode of The Growing Season. Rock gardens, moss and all manner of heavy material come into focus. The show starts off with a jobsite story. Where is this rock coming from? Are we tearing apart the Canadian Shield to acquire this? Is everything in Canada limestone? Matt talks about his family’s trip to Point Pelee. Matt dives into an Egyptian rabbit hole. A rock garden will alter your plant’s final size. A rockery will provide the soil with a rudimentary fertilizer. The difference between a rock garden and a rock wall is explored. Matt and Jack butt heads. The scale of your rock is important. Softening the look of the rock is important. There are so many wonderful plants that LOVE a rock garden environment. Bonsai and rock gardens utilize similar environments. The trio gush about evergreens. They also gush about perennial geranium. Tune in. Looking to book a consult for your property? We'd love to help.
