Oh-oh-ah-ah-oh! Oh-oh-ahhhh-oh!

So what the heck are The McFarland’s using on landscape designs in 2024?

The Growing Season follows Matt into his annual practice of wiping the slate clean and starting over with his choices of plants.

Yucca is back on the menu!  For over 20 years the McFarland’s refused to use a yucca on a design. They explain why.

Phlox!  The science of hybridizing plants is discussed. Why the phlox are there sooo many new varieties of phlox!?

A new variety of pyramidal/pencil birch, a classic viburnum returns and roses, roses roses galore are touched on.

Matt shied away from roses for years and he explains why he’s rekindled his relationship with them.

Why is a serviceberry called a serviceberry?  You’ll be surprised.

Hydrangeas are almost discussed. Hehehehe. You’ll find out why.

Cherry Truffle sedum is not a dessert but it’s a sedum as sweet as a dessert!  The trio discuss. 

Tune in.
