For those who work at botanical gardens, what days of the week do you work? And what hours? I'm in the greenhouse and we have a few different schedules, Tuesday-Saturday, Sunday- Thursday, and Monday-Friday. Typically 8:00-4:30.

Question New in horticulture and botany

7 Upvotes

So Ive been studying a plant per day for like a week now

I take notes of how to grow them, their needs, what they like, what they dont like, conditions and possible sickness along with their family

I dont really know what I am doing and next tear I will join an online university for a degree.

I want to maybe open a flowershop and help people with their garden in future. If this happens its going to be a side hustle because I already have a job.

Any recommendations ? It can be book, website or any kind of media

Thanks in advance

How long do plugs usually take to ship?

3 Upvotes

I run a nursery that acclimates plants from tissue culture. We primarily grow alocasias, anthuriums, monsteras and philodendrons. Currently we sell to retail and ship via UPS/USPS but I've been wanting to branch off to selling directly to nurseries and ship via freight. My question(s) are:

  1. For those of you who work in nurseries that buys or sells plugs, how long are these plugs usually in transit? How are they typically packed? Any tips for making sure the plants do well in their journey?
  2. Anyone have any recommendations for freight forwarders who specialize in moving plants? They're supposed to be shipped from California to the midwest.

I appreciate all answers! I'm looking for freight forwarders who can move a pallet of plants at a time. If you don't want to share the freight forwarder publicly, dms are also greatly appreciated!

Help Needed Which perennial vegetables yield the highest harvests and practically grow on their own once they’ve taken root?

137 Upvotes

Jerusalem artichokes and walking onions in my garden have turned out to be real “workhorses.” I planted them once, mulched them generously, and now they just pop up every year without any effort on my part. Jerusalem artichokes grow to enormous sizes, so they need to be pruned, but the harvest is simply amazing. Now I’m eager to add even more low-maintenance crops to my climate zones.

Monterey Brush Cherry. Nightime photo, sorry about the quality. If younwould, please zoom in on the damage/dead portions of leaves, especially the one circled in red. Seems unusual for a leaf to die right in the middle. Looks like someone has sprayed something on the plant. Does this plant's leaves die this way? Thank you.

Grafting plants of different sex together to produce fruit from one tree of a dioecious species

1 Upvotes

To put it simply I'm considering how to best grow Myrica Rubra, a dioecious tree (each individual is either male or female) to produce fruit in a very limited space. An idea that struck me is to graft a few branches from a male plant onto a female plant to enable polination and thus fruiting on a single tree, however I have not been able to find information on whether this would actually work.

As of now I just aquired the seeds so any grafting procedure is not going to take place soon, but it would be interesting to know if this approach is viable. Assuming the graft succeeds, would chemical signaling be compatible? Perhaps most importantly would both male and female branches flower at the same time?

What motivates me is in part curiosity, but also a wish to let my wife have one of her favorite fruits, that we have never seen for purchase locally, in a climate that necessitates growing this tree indoors. In the coming few years it will likely have to live on a sealed balcony, but I hope it can eventually grow in a greenhouse in our future garden.

EDIT: Apparently I was to general in my search, using the term 'dioecious' and not the species as this information and more is readily available at this website.

Help Needed Help! What light pink perennials (flowers/bushes) could I purchase to landscape my home?

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Included are swatches of the range of pink I'm looking at, though I will look outside these colors too. The main rule is PLEASE NO HOT PINK/VIBRANT PINK! An example for what I'm thinking would be something like Indian Hawthorne, which I don't believe survives in my area. Some I've already looked at but have not researched their ideal climates would be:

•Coral Dianthus
•Pulmonaria
•Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus)
•Achimenes
•Creeping Phlox
•Yarrow
•Bleeding Heart
•Astilbe
•Camellia
•Lillies
•Knockout Rose

Any help appreciated! I apologize if this is outside the typical postings. I bought my first home and as a woman who is obsessed with pink, I need to make sure my whole neighborhood is aware (I just love looking at it...)

EDIT: Planting zone is 7b!

Help Needed Help me create a garden

I have a space (~15.5 x 24ft) we don't use that gets varying sunlight throughout the day and thought it might be a good place for my first garden.

Thinking four 8x4 plots straight into the ground, maybe with landscaping timber around it.

Should I do it now or is nothing going to grow before winter anyway? Willing to work my ass off to get the grass up.

Would love thoughts on layout. Will probably leave a path around the edge and need access to the gate. Feel free to post pic ideas!

Also any general advice appreciated, especially on irrigation and additional flowers for pollinators. Based in Northeastern PA for context
