The Daily Gardener show

Summary: Today we celebrate the amazing botanical illustrator Marianne North and Margaret Owen, the English gardener we lost five years ago today. We'll hear Dickinson's Nature 27 poem - with the famous line "I'll put a trinket on." We'll Grow That Garden Library with today's book The Daylily by John P. Peat and Ted L. Petit. I'll talk about the perennials you can cut back right now & wrap things up with a sweet story about the rose poem that went viral in 1885.
