Episode 106: Spring Natives

Published: March 11, 2022, 2:44 p.m.

Even though there\u2019s still snow on the ground for many of us, warmer weather is most definitely on our brains. So today we\u2019re going to be talking about native plants that put on a spectacular show in spring. And, although we\u2019re a podcast based out of New England, the plants we decided to talk about have an extensive native range (even into Texas!). There is an exquisitely fragrant perennial, a self-sowing ephemeral, a delicious edible, and several trees and shrubs that bloom so prolifically in April, May, and June you\u2019d think it was their only job. Want a list of nearly a dozen native plants that are show-stoppers? Then press play now!\xa0
