From the greenhouse

Instead of focusing on individual plants this week, these articles help you understand what’s actually happening in your garden right now — the pollinators showing up, why plants behave the way they do, what we’re working on at the greenhouse, and what comes next in the growing season.
This week’s lineup:
· The pollinators you’ll see in Indiana gardens this June
· Why plants need more than just water
· How plants experience stress and what it looks like
· What we’re growing now and what you’ll be seeing later this summer
Whether you’re planting annuals, attracting pollinators, or simply curious about what’s happening behind the scenes at a greenhouse, there’s something for every gardener this week.
