Plant of the Month:
Norway Spruce
Norway Spruce, Picea abies, is our most durable evergreen tree in central Ohio. Hardly fickle about our clay soils or hard winters and unaffected by early spring frosts or imported pests, the Norway spruce is a majestic spire for the landscape. Reaching a height of 70' or higher and width of 30' the tree needs a little space to reach its full potential. The dark green, one inch needles are held close to the drooping branches. An excellent choice for focal point plant, a grouping or privacy planting.

Enjoy the Winter
The best way to appreciate winter in Ohio is to get outdoors. You will find the spare and quiet beauty of the season in the woodlands and meadows, quite apart from the grit and grime of the city.
Some of the prettiest walks in Columbus metro area are the ravine walk at Highbanks Metro Park, or hiking along Big Darby Creek (a National Scenic River) on the far west side. Even better, bone-up on your tree identification at Dawes Arboretum near Newark. And of course, contemplate your own backyard sanctuary; watch the chickadees at the feeder and plan where to plant the new shrubs next spring. Enjoy the winter quiet.

Resolve to Go Green and Healthy
I RESOLVE IN 2012 TO:
 Appoint a recycling czar in the home and start recycling all possible items. (Columbus will finally offer free curbside recycling this spring). This includes batteries, ink cartridges and electronics which can be conveniently dropped off in locations around central Ohio.
Use fewer harsh cleaning chemicals in the home.
Stop drinking bottled water this year and fill a reusable container from the tap. See more info here
Start a compost pile, to reduce the waste generated in the home and produce organic and fertile soil for the garden.
Use safer pesticides for controlling insect, disease and weed pests.
Plant more flowers, shrubs and trees that benefit native bees, insects and animals.
Buy more food that is locally grown.
