Having Buckhead as a backdrop in everyday life is not so bad thanks to all of the wonderful gardeners out there.  I spend a great deal of time driving the streets of Buckhead and am always amazed at how beautiful the yards are, but at the same time upset that I didn’t know to plant bulbs in late November for them to bloom in the Spring, or to apply a crabgrass preventer in February to my front lawn. 

Gardening advice is local and I have found the perfect guide for Atlanta.  Pike Nursery has a Monthly Gardening Advice Calendar on their website that breaks down what you need to plan for and execute each month.  You can find the calendar by visiting their website www.PikeNursery.com -> Tips & Advice -> Monthly Gardening Advice.

Two big projects for me this year are planting azaleas and hydrangeas in the back yard.  According to the calendar I will plant azaleas in April and wait until June to plant hydrangeas.

Be sure and check out the monthly gardening advice and here’s to a beautiful yard year around!

Here is the April calendar, so get started: http://www.pikenursery.com/tipsandadvice/monthly/apr.html
