Plants for Dry Shade. How a Tree Works.

May 28, 2021 • Green Acres Nursery & Supply • Season 1 • Episode 19

Today we’re talking about plants for dry shade. University of California Environmental Horticulture Advisor Karrie Reid has plenty of great suggestions for unthirsty plants for those areas of your yard that don’t get much, if any, sunshine.
Also, Master Gardener Pam Bone explains how a tree moves water and nutrients, and what you’re doing may be cutting off those pipelines in the tree.
We have staff picks, and a list of garden tasks for the week.
Welcome to Episode 19 of the Green Acres Garden Podcast. Let’s go!
