Download April 2025 HortusScope
I love the blowsy garden in April, with its pristine daffodils springing forth from the brown earth and birds making family plans with winter’s detritus of sticks and grasses.
Magnolias are magnificent in this cool weather, underpinned in my yard with native bloodroot and a sea of blue (invasive) scilla. Pansies are showing off for walkers-by. And when the soil dries a bit, it’ll be okay at last to dig and divide and move plants around to fulfill schemes dreamed up during the dark, icy months.
My garden is my hope and my strength against a world of worry. Its yearly renewal restores my energy and brings me joy. Here’s wishing yours does the same for you.
Thank you, Herb Society of Central Indiana, for your generous support of HortusScope.
