Seasonal Gardening Guide
Seasonal Gardening Guide — Summer 2011
Welcome to CWF’s summer issue of our Seasonal Gardening Guide! We’re busy updating our website so we’ve pulled some golden oldies from the summer of 2005 to inspire you this season. To complement our feature creature – our wallpaper is a beautiful Photo Contest entry by Frank McHarg.
For those of you looking to find the perfect native plants for your garden, visit our new and improved Native Plant Encyclopedia. It has a new look with the same good information, plus more user-friendly functionality. We’re busy uploading images and on the lookout for more, so let us know if you have any you’d like to contribute.
Enjoy!
