“See that blue Iris over there? A lovely lady shared that with me. She just passed away and now it’s the first to bloom! It’s her smiling down on us today!!” Today on In the Garden with UC Master Gardeners, we fill your soul with happiness as we talk about what it means to give and receive precious beauty from one garden to the next! Master Gardener Host Mark Oertel sits down with fellow MG Teena Spindler and discuss all about Heritage/Pass Along Plants. You may have inherited your family home and would never, ever consider digging up any of the beautiful plants your Mom/Grandma tended to for years. You know the feeling, right? But remember, be aware of the regulations and common sense around sharing plants that may be either invasive or simply unclean in terms of pests and diseases. Share with love! Tune in and smile!
