Mulching helps with water retention. We highly recommend installing natives due to better survivability and they require much less maintenance and care

Keeping a landscape looking full and healthy in North Carolina does not always mean using a lot of water. With hot summers and periods of dry weather, many gardeners are starting to look for shrubs that can handle these conditions without constant watering.

The moon is Beautiful this morning as well!

If you step outside tonight, you’ll likely notice that it seems much brighter than normal. There’s a full moon tonight, but the world’s even brighter than a typical full moon night. Why’s that? 🤔

It’s the albedo! This term, albedo, is a measure of how much of the sun’s energy is reflected by a surface. In the case of a hardwood forest, only around 15% of the sun’s energy is reflected. Snow, however, reflects a whopping 75-90% of the sun’s energy, or in this case, moonlight. This same phenomenon explains why snow is so bright and you’re reaching for your sunglasses while driving on a snowy day.

And guess what the full moon of February is called…the Snow Moon! How apropos!
