This man’s forest garden produces tons of food, while practically tending itself! Historically, farms and forests have been at odds. Conventional wisdom says we have to cut down the forest to make way for agriculture. But a growing movement called agro-forestry “capitalizes” on the free servic...

I've photographed hundreds of glowing flowers since 2014 after seeing Oleksandr Holovachov's work with ultraviolet-induced visible fluorescence (UVIVF) photography. Each time I do a set of UVIVF photos, it starts with going out under the cover of darkness to sn**ch unsuspecting flowers growing aroun...

Garden Tip: I figured I'd better get this posted before the wind blows off all my ginkgo's leaves. (Which explains all the leaf litter around it. The storm just blew through.) This is the grated male (fruitless, so no smelly mess) variety Autumn Gold.

It is absolutely beautiful in the landscape 12 months a year. Prominent branching while the limbs are bare in the winter. Silvery green, fan-shaped leaves all summer and the most glorious golden-yellow color in fall. If the leaves persist through this current storm they will be an even richer yellow in a few days. I'll post it again.

I just bought my third Autumn Gold at Calloways yesterday and will be planting it up along the county road in the next week or two. I love this tree!
