Episode 134: Hole Fillers – FineGardening

Each backyard has gaps that have to be crammed in on occasion. Whether or not you are on the lookout for a short-term substitute whereas a mattress is being reworked or a fast repair after one other plant dies, it is good to have a listing of hitters who can step in and fill the area rapidly. Hear as Danielle, Carol, and professional visitor Lisa Bauer share a few of their favourite picks for gracefully filling the vacancies which might be a pure a part of a backyard’s evolution.

Knowledgeable Visitor: Lisa Bauer owns Chartreuse Backyard Design in Seattle.
