FLOWER OF THE MONTH: MORNING GLORY

Another month down, 4 more months to go until a new year! Growing up I thought that time went by slowly but as the years start ticking by its crazy how fast a year can just come and go. I digress, a start of a new month means another flower of the month post! September is right around the corner and morning glories are this month's flower of the month. 

MORNING GLORIES:

1. Make sure to plant them somewhere sunny, they require a lot of sun since they're annual perrneials. 
2. Plant the seeds 6" away from each other so they have space to grow
3. These florals are very low maintaence so water sparingly and only during dry periods.
4. Support climbers by using trellises, or stakes. 
5. Use mulch to retain moisture and to avoid weeds

we hope this guide has helped you on all of your morning glory needs!

till next time.

GARDEN TO SAVE THE BEES

Bees have just landed on the endangered animals list and if that doesn't scare you then I don't know what will. What a lot of people don't know is that bees are very vital to our ecosystem and without them well we wouldn't survive. A lot of fruit and vegetables are pollinated by honey bees, such as broccoli and squash, apples, etc. Pollination is not just important for the food we eat directly, it's vital for the foraging crops, such as field beans and clover, used to feed the livestock we depend on for meat. So here are a few plants that you can have in your garden that would be extremely beneficial for bees.  

HOLLYHOCKS 

FOXGLOVES

LAVENDER

HYACINTH

Hope this post helps you with your planting needs and remember if you see a bee just leave it be.

LOW LIGHT AREA PLANTS

Plants need light to survive, we all know that. However, some plants don't require as much lighting as other plants. There are species of plants that actually thrive in the shade and if put into a well-lit area, the plant itself would burn. These plants are perfect for homes or any area in your home that doesn't have enough light. 

Aglaonema Maria aka Chinese Evergreen

Dracena Lisa 

Spathiphyllum aka Peace Lily

Sanseveria aka Mother In Law Tounge 

Succulents

These plants are so easy to take care of since they don't require so much water! Water them once a week and make sure that it doesn't get too dry. The only plant on this list that requires the soil to be moist is the Peace Lily. 

We hope this post helps you guys in all of your plant needs! if you have any questions or would like a design feel free to reach out to us at http://www.environmental-designs.com.
