The Morton Arboretum hosts annual conference showcasing the best new information on the selection and care of hardy, versatile trees and shrubs on September 6, 2019.
Summer is here, with lush shades of green in landscapes and natural areas throughout The Morton Arboretum. Flowers can be found in garden areas, including the Ground Cover Garden on the East Side and the Fragrance Garden, Four Seasons Garden and Joy Path gardens near the Thornhill Education Center on the West Side.
When you mow the lawn, make the most of it by leaving the grass clippings where they fall.
“That half-inch of grass leaves you snip off every week contains a lot of useful nutrients,” said Sharon Yiesla, plant knowledge specialist at The Morton Arboretum in Lisle. “Don’t just throw them away. Leave them where they fall.”
