  • Market Perspective – 2023 was a mixed bag, and the market remains confusing. But there are pockets of great promise.
  • The Self-Taught Gardener – Some gardeners believe only native plants can support pollinators; others say non-natives can, too. Lee wonders if It’s necessary to choose a side?
