Split down the middle by the Appalachian Mountains, Pennsylvania experiences a wide range of extreme weather on each side of the divide, with humid summers in Harrisburg and record-breaking snowfalls in McKean County- but there’s one thing every Pennsylvanian experiences: rain, and plenty of it. The state’s well-hydrated landscape hosts a vast selection of beautiful native plants, from the gorgeous multi-season serviceberry t the stunning and underused Joe-Pye weed. In Pennsylvania Getting Started Garden Guide, locally beloved Patriot-News garden columnist George Weigel teaches you how to plant and care for more than 150 of different species of natural Pennsylvanian agriculture.
