  • The Woodruffs: Their Plan, Costs and Products
  • From "Garden Sense"
    episode DGAR-202


    (Continued from page 1)


    Not so Sensible Selections
    These are selections that would not be sensible for this type of landscaping project:

    • Sprirea: It requires more sunshine than the Woodruff's have
    • Noxwood: The leaves will fall off after the summer and will not look pretty
    • Variegated Weigela: It requires more sunshine than the Woodruff's have
    • English Ivy: It's too invasive for this type of space
