Ep 251 - A Changing Gardens Teaches What Belongs

What a Changing Garden Teaches  - Finding What BelongsSometimes what we see as a problem is simply a message.While visiting a longtime client in Sparta, New Jersey, Mary Stone reflects on shifting conditions in our landscapes—from struggling rhododendrons and declining pachysandra to the beauty and wisdom of moss. Along the way, she revisits an old dilemma—ants in a mossy patio—with a fresh perspective shaped by time, experience, and a growing appreciation for nature’s balance.Link to the Companion Post:  What a Changing Garden Teaches🔗 Links to Related Posts and Podcasts: Podcast Episodes:Ep 121 – Admiration for Ants & Safe RemediesEp 249 – Living Mulch: Layering with Native PlantsEp 173 – Oakleaf Hydrangea for All Seasons Ep  10 – Beauty in Dreariness, Furry Invaders Ep 250 -  Weeping Cherry Dilemmas: Trees Tell a StoryBlog Posts:Ants Be GoneAdmiration for Ants & Safe RemediesMagnificent MossNative RhododendronsGarden Dilemmas?
