Join me for a late afternoon walk around Deer Path Gardens and beyond through the wild meadow and woods. Featuring birdhouses, benches and places to rest and relax. We may be at our leaf color peak, but there’s still a lot of green.

LAVENDER CARE-
FIVE COMMON MISTAKES I’VE MADE:

1) Not enough sun
2) Too much water
3) Fertilizing too much
4) Not pruning enough as blooms die; prune leaving an inch or two of green stem
5) Over pruning - cutting all the way down to the woody stem

I’ve loved lavender for years and I’ve had beautiful blooming rows then lost them … but didn’t know why. Now, I’ve learned these lessons the hard way and wanted to share them so you may enjoy watching yours grow and flourish.
