Today is March 22, it is now officially Spring. Yesterday was the Spring Equinox and we have a long period of lengthening daylight and pleasant temperatures ahead.Eager to plant....? Here are some plant sales being offered by local groups. Often reasonable prices, selections not to matched by chain stores, and generally supporting the work of not-for profits:

And I have to put in a plug for this great magazine, The Tennessee Conservationist, published by the state of Tennessee. It is so worth subscribing to the print version for the stunning photography and of course the great information on Tennessee cultural assets: http://www.state.tn.us/environment/tn_consv/
See the adjacent post for some photos of wildflowers blooming TODAY at Percy Warner Park in Davidson County. Enjoy.
