Marita Tewes Tyrolt, Horticulture Director of Red Butte Garden tells us the changes that they had to make in 2020 after losing so much revenue due to Covid19. Then, she inspires us with a virtual tour of each themed garden at Red Butte Garden and highlights some of the interesting and notable plants in each that could work well in our yards too. She also tells us about an emotional wellness themed garden with aromatherapies, soothing teas and plants that can be used for wellness perfect for 2020 and into 2021.

In the Tip of the Week, Mike Goldberg from the nursery Quality Flowers & Plants tells us how to care for our poinsettias!
