Another reason to Visit the Atlanta Botanical Garden

Agave americana in full bloom

Today, July 16, 2010 I was visiting the Atlanta Botanical Garden and had the thrill of seeing Agave americana in bloom.  This is not your average plant and to see it towering up next to a conifer was exciting.  It is worth the trip.  I also enjoyed seeing Leucophyllum frutescens var. compactum in full bloom.  If you decide to grow it make sure you give it excellent drainage.  Not easy to find at nurseries, you may have luck with mail order-places like Yucca-Du.

    Not to be repetitive…but when is HGTV going to begin airing The Gardener’s Diary again?

    Also, I would love to buy DVDs of past seasons of The Gardener’s Diary.

    Any thought about providing these to the public?

    Have a great summer. My little garden is growing. Pam.

    Ditto Pam’s comments; however, HGTV, it appears, does not care what you or I think or want. Numerous inquires have been forwarded to HTV(G no longer applies) with no response from them outside of their auto reply which means a human has not viewed the request for information. DVDs would be an o.k. substitute.
    Erica’s is still Queen of the garden circle; long live the Queen.

    Thank you Lola. I am in Homer, Alaska to give a lecture and visit this beautiful place. It would be great to tape some episodes of “A Gardener’s Diary” here.
    Oh well, maybe someday. Until then happy gardening. Erica Glasener

    Sorry I just found your comment. Thanks for your kind words. Hope to be back on the air someday. Happy gardening.
