11 April’55 Once years ago, I wrote in this column about a thyme lawn I had made, a simple and rather obvious idea which met with a surprising response in popularity, but I don’t think I have ever written about an Alpine lawn.

These reflections led me to the consideration of an important question of taste in gardening. It is the question of the scale and proportion of plants grown in relation to the size of the garden. It is rather difficult to explain what I mean in so short an article—gg

We all know the legend of the #groundhog: If he sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter; if he doesn’t, then #spring weather is right around the corner. Which do you hope for today?

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year, and may support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Let's look after the trees 🌳 Via @WoodlandTrust

In the winter, the poison ivy plant loses its characteristic "leaves of three," but its vine, which resembles a "hairy rope," can still cause a rash if you touch it. Remember: "Leaves of three, don't touch me!" and "Don't be a dope, don't touch the hairy rope!"

Thank you to @NYCParks’ Urban Park Rangers for rescuing these domestic ducks! 🦆

Please do not release domestic ducks in any park, as they cannot fly or fend for themselves.
