Horticulture Updates 2023
| December Freeze Help Regarding the December 2022 freeze, Ruthie Taylor, Zone IX Horticulture Representative, has provided us with the following helpful information. You may have had questions from members inquiring about what to do after the harsh Southern freeze we just experienced. I have gathered several articles from various horticulture friends that may help you in giving information to your members. The first is a radio show interview video from Meg Tapp, GC of Houston…a horticulture judge, friend and mentor to so many of us. https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/shows/houston-matters/2023/01/05/440516/how-to-save-plants-after-a-hard-freeze/ Cheryl Welch, horticulture chair, the GC of Jackson is always a wealth of information and gracious at sharing. She has sent me two articles which I am passing along to you.https://westtn.tennessee.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2023/01/Handling-the-Holiday-Freeze-in-Your-Lawn-Landscape.pdf?fbclid=IwAR1Fp6RYMGlGX-m6wX7MMdWYJUEMhqaRoFZm0cSiCgtS32FOyO_M2wzKZg8 Gina White, past Horticulture chair and Horticulture judge, Little GC Memphis share this video from volunteer Gardener, Nashville Public Television: https://youtu.be/FlRu1zu2yLU Preview YouTube video Dramatic Winter Damage | Volunteer GardenerDramatic Winter Damage | Volunteer Gardener Roberta Anderson, Horticulture Chairman |
