Discover scented viburnum for stunning January blooms in your French garden
We explore a pretty pink shrub that gives long-lasting winter displays Cathy Thompson’s own viburnum gives a floral display in frosty weather I would love to take a walk at the Welsh garden of Bodnant this January – just for the scent of some of its most famous offspring, the three cultivars that form the hybrid group Viburnum x bodnantense: ‘Dawn’, ‘Deben’ and ‘Charles Lamont’. For winter scent and long-lasting floral display (although it does get knocked back a little in frost), they are tops.

The fastest way to get anyone drooling over plants – whether a gardener or non-gardener – is to show them a picture of the blue Himalayan poppy (Meconopsis betonicifolia). Seed merchants and gardening magazines know this, frequently choosing the poppy or equally gorgeous Anemone ‘Mr Fokker’ as cover stars.

Discover Drought-Tolerant Echinacea and Daisies for Your French Garden
Echinacea have to be divided regularly, since most of the cultivars you’ll come across are not as long-lived as you’d like. I used to have some rather lovely specimens of Echinacea ‘White Swan’ (pictured above), one of my favourites in this very drought-tolerant genus. That is, until I read in a French gardening magazine that I ‘should’ divide them in July. The outcome was fairly predictable…they died.

How I Became a Distance Educator (AKA Distance Faculty, Remote Faculty)
My transition to a distance educator began in June 2007 when we moved 5 hours away from my university campus. As a long-time faculty member, I had no plans to abandon my hard-won tenure. At that time, I taught graduate core courses in advanced pathophysiology and applied evidence-based practice (EBP); in addition to an advanced practice role course and the clinical nurse specialist (CNS) specialty courses.

So I think the best suggestion to help you incorporate these ideas is for you to read a great book on good habits! The book I’m recommending is Gretchen Rubin’s book on habits, Better Than Before. I already mentioned in the Thanksgiving week post that I was a big fan of Gretchen Rubin’s podcast co-hosted with her sister Elizabeth Craft, Happier with Gretchen Rubin.
