Upcoming Classes and Workshops
Pruning Classes
http://www.plantamnesty.org/documents/masterPruner2009.pdf
Multiple dates listed
Cass Turnbull of Plant Amnesty is THE authority on pruning. She has a great book out and I actually just saw her speak. If you ever have a question about how to prune something or just would like the art of pruning demystified, I would highly recommend a class or buying her pruning book. Her book is actually a fun read and some of her descriptions have you laughing out loud. I know, it's hard to believe a pruning book could be entertaining but really, it is!

What's Blooming in the Peloza Garden
I have to say, I don't have a super amazing Spring display but I do have a few plants that really steal the show this time of year which are:
Doublefile Viburnum
I love the tiered horizontal structure.
Allium 'Ivory Prince'
I love the graphic quality of this bulb and unlike most alliums, this one is low to the ground.
Tree Peony
I can take no credit for this. It was here when we moved in. Each flower is the size of a dinner plate. This picture is shot looking down from our deck. My mother and law brings all her gardening friends over to see it when it's in full bloom. Unfortunately, that's only for a week or two.
I wish this picture was from my garden but it's not! This is a public NY garden.
