"I'd love it to stay contained and grow slow..."

These are the sentiments uttered by many a client that have crossed the McFarland's path. 

Jack, Lynne and Matt McFarland dive into plants that are just what a client ordered on this week's episode of The Growing Season.

Algae kicks the show off and you'll find out why. Juniper tags in quick and The McFarland's give these lovely evergreens their due. 

Pfitzers, Icee Blue, Blue Rug, Blue Chip and many more junipers are discussed.

What is a "Pancake Juniper?" The Korean Spice viburnum and its lack of use on Growing Season designs are mentioned. 

Plant repetition and colour repetition are design elements that make a wonderful connection to various parts of your property. 

Black Eyed Susies... OHHHH BABY.  The McFarland's get REALLY excited about perennial geraniums. 

Why don't shrubs grow in a square shape?   It's a curious question. 

The Growing Season is award winning once again. The trio explain. 

Matt gets hormonal with Spruce and it leads to "Imagine If You Will..."

The gloriousness that are coral bells are highlighted.  Also: DOGWOODS!

The McFarlands spend some time reminiscing about the 1980's and why so many popular plants from that era fell out of favour. 

Nest spruce is something you should try.  Evergreens finish the show off in style. 

Tune in.
