Show Notes

Even though I don't live anywhere near St. Louis, one of my most used and appreciated resources for plant information over many, many years has been the Missouri Botanical Garden, with its world-class offerings to gardeners both in person and online. One feature I look forward to each year is the garden's annual Plants of Merit list, and today we're going to talk about those standout varieties just in time to guide your springtime plant shopping. 

My guest today is Daria McKelvey, supervisor of the Kemper Center for Home Gardening at the Missouri Botanical Garden, where she oversees its extensive indoor and outdoor gardens, its Plant Doctor answer line, and a lot of the website features I mentioned that I rely on so much.
