Drip Irrigation

The sound of water dripping is something a municipal water supplier does not want to hear. In this case, drip is a whole new definition for water conservation in the landscape.

MCH Plant Selfies

Massachusetts Certified Horticulturist (MCH) members of the Massachusetts Nursery and Landscape Association are sharing their favorite plant variety of the season through our Plant Selfie Challenge. Visit often to see what they choose to showcase.

Symphyotrichum novae-angliae aka DragonSymphyotrichum novae-angliae ‘Dragon’—This true Dragon Aster was discontinued in 2020 and replaced with ‘Dragon Improved’ or ‘Dragon Blue’. Unfortunately the original had larger blooms, with one of the richest and deepest purples I’ve seen yet on an Aster. The center yellows fade slowly and turn dark purple before the flowers and in turn make the rest of the yellows really stand out.

—Joseph Bobick, MCH, Pemberton Garden Services Inc.

MCH specialist Morgan at Ward's Nursery & Garden Center recommends Crassula ovata (aka Ogre’s ears/jade plant)! — a great choice for on the go gardeners due to low water requirements and lots of sun. Its uniquely fluted leaves are a delight as well! I love variety in my house plant collection so this was an easy choice to mix things up without much maintenance.
