Garden Knowledge:
Trees...Good to Know!
 I loved
climbing trees as a child. From the top of the oak in our backyard I
seemingly could see for miles. If you'd like to revisit your
childhood, the
7th Annual Tree Climbing Rendezvous starts Sept. 25. And if you'd
like to join happy, social volunteers on any Saturday morning, check
out the weekly calendar at
Trees Atlanta.

Perennial
native to the eastern half of the U.S. and Canada. This "wild"
goldenrod has received some refinement and been re-introduced in the
form of the cultivar Fireworks. The cultivar is much more compact and
heavy-flowering than the straight species. Contrary to rumors,
goldenrod does not cause allergies. 
The Genus Acer
includes all maples from around the world. From native red maples to
Japanese maples, learn which of these trees are the best to use for
shade, small garden spaces, focal points, containers, etc. Every garden
should have at least one maple tree. 
Fall is
the best time to plant Encore Azaleas in your garden. Encore Azaleas
bloom in Spring, Summer, and Fall - with 23 varieties that provide
year-round color to any landscape. For additional information visit us
