Yummy looking lettuce in the high tunnels at the HortStation this week! While a lot of research happens at this station, some of the produce goes to ISU Dining for students! #lettuce #hightunnel #spring #yum

What a fun Friday! I had the pleasure of arranging flowers for a baby shower. Thanks Grant and Tressa for letting me bring a few spring greens mostly from my garden to the celebration today! #horticulture #green #spring #flowers #flowerarrangement #floraldesign #frommygarden #iowaspring

Small but mighty describes lily-of-the-valley perfectly. Its impressive how much fragrance can be packed in such tiny flowers! While this is a great spring blooming groundcover for shady areas - it will consume large areas if not kept in check!
