Very interesting. As a blue heron, I have no issues with eating frogs, but realize they're a valuable member of the ecosystem who keep the insect population in check and sing nightly lullabies.

This poster is from Master Gardeners Frederick County Maryland and does a great job of illustrating the importance of leaving leaves on the ground to break down and turn into healthy soil.

Helianthus "Lemon Queen" blowing in the wind. Not all sunflowers are large, reaching up to the sky. This wispy sunflower (Helianthus) adds interest to the garden, providing seeds for birds, and nectar for bees. Some sunflowers, like "lemon queen" are perennial, appearing every summer.

A biodiverse garden includes sanctuaries for wildlife. A key element is space for territorial wildlife to defend an area that has food, water, and cover.

For instance, these California quail spend most of their time on the ground, walking and scratching in search of food. In morning and evening, they forage beneath shrubs or on open ground near cover. They usually travel in groups called coveys.

Exciting news! The pathways through much of the Education Gardener are now accessible by wheelchairs and walkers! The Master Gardeners had the bricks realigned and added compressed gravel to make firm, but porous pathways.

Come visit the garden and see what's changed.

If you have a small or shaded yard, or a balcony is your yard, you can still grow vegetables, herbs, and flowers.

The wooden trough is designed for those who prefer not to be at ground-level when gardening (the knees know).

The layered clay-colored pots would normally be used for strawberries, but is perfect for growing a variety of lettuce, kale, and other greens.

A gardener who lived in a shaded neighborhood, filled wheelbarrows with quality soil and planted vegetables. Every morning, he'd push the wheelbarrow onto his driveway where they received full sun!

Check out some of the creative ways Master Gardeners are growing produce at the Education Garden at Greenbank Farm.
