All hail Charlotte's Web!

Jack, Lynne and Matt McFarland discuss the ins and outs of using ferns in your landscape and/or your landscape designs. 

Matt details the various degrees of success he's had with using ferns and, specifically, fern varieties. 

The fern life-cycle is explored.  Outside of the spores that we all have heard about puddles and gametophytes feature prominently. 

Do ferns display a fall colour change?   What varieties would you use to feature this change to its fullest effect?

Ferns and fiddleheads.  How should your prepare the fiddleheads for eating?

Companion/pairing plants are discussed when considering ferns.  What pairs best in this case?  The McFarlands explain.  HINT:  Think coralbells.

What are the shade/light conditions necessary to fern thrivability.

Ghost ferns, painted fern, cinnamon fern, brilliance autumn fern, ostrich fern and many more are discussed. 

Can you split a fern?   How so?
