Rosemary is one of my favorite herbs. It tastes, smells and looks good. This woody shrub is great for outdoor herb gardens. Able to withstand periods of high heat and drought, it is one of the easier plants to grow. Rosemary also does well indoors, making it a great, versatile houseplant.

It’s that time of year again — garden centers and greenhouses are wellstocked with beautiful holiday plants. They make great gifts for friends and families. Nothing looks better on a table or desk than a blooming Christmas cactus or the red foliage of a poinsettia!

The gardening season has officially ended. Hopefully, you have everything ready for winter and are ready to enjoy the holiday season. As I prepare for the holiday season, I am also taking time to reflect on the improvements needed and the success of my garden this growing season.

Greetings from your friends at PNC! First, I want to thank everyone out there that donated items to our resident Christmas Shop this year. I also want to give a big thank you to those of you who simply prayed for the safety of our staff that helped with the big shopping day.

Thanksgiving, and the holiday season in general, can stir up a mix of emotions. For many, it’s a time filled with long-standing traditions and family gatherings. For others, it’s quieter, different, or even a little bittersweet. I fall somewhere in the middle.
