Gardens using native plants benefit from planting or seeding at the right time of the year. Internationally recognized native plant expert Neil Diboll is back to tell you what to put into the ground now.

  • What native gardens need in the fall

    Some native plants are best planted -or seeded – in the fall rather than in spring. We talk about which species like this time of the year best.  We’ll also look at what goes into preparing a site for planting a native garden.

  • Good gardens start with good soil

    We talk with Bryant Scharenbroch, an Associate Professor of Soil Science at UW Stevens Point about how to tell if your soil is good, bad, or somewhere in between.
