#TuesdayTip - "He loves me. He loves me not. He loves me!" The classic way of plucking poor daisy petals to determine if someone loves you dates back many centuries ago and seen in cartoons and movies through the years. Since today is National Daisy Day, we have a few fun facts and tips for growing these lovely flowers in your garden. Daisies tend to bloom during the early summer and continue to grow through the fall. They grow nearly everywhere, and their name originates from the Old England Phrase "Daes eage," which translates to "day's eye." The name was inspired by the way these delicate flowers seem to close their petals over their "eye" and reopen each morning upon sunrise. Pollinators love daisies because they contain hundreds of flowers that create a cluster called inflorescence making it easier for bees in particular to gather a lot of pollen from one landing. Daisies require full sunlight when they are planted in a garden with well-drained soil. Be sure to water them regularly but not too much water. You could add mulch around the daisies to retain moisture. Facts were found on Better Homes & Gardens website. #GoPublicGardens #PublicGarden #PublicGardens #nationaldaisyday #daisy #daisies #tip #tiptuesday #tuesdaytips #gardentip

Innovative Landscape Design, Horticultural Therapy and Forest Therapy Guidance Deeping the human-nature connection for enhanced well-being.
For northern folks who are nostalgic about the hydrangea gardens they left behind when moving south, consider growing this "tropical hygrangea", Dombeya wallichii. These beauties bear abundant pink mophead flowers and can grow up to 25 ft, They will not tolerate temperatures below 25 degrees without protection. I would not recommend these beauties for container gardens. #tropical gardens #hydrangea #tropicalshrubs #pinkflowers
