First, with all the rain last summer, and our new Myke
products, newly planted trees, shrubs, and perennials should
have had a very good establishment year.
Secondly, most gardens did provide a good harvest.
And lastly, with all the moisture and snowfall that came
before the severe cold in late November, our trees, shrubs,
and perennials should be well set for good winter survival.
Barring any unusual weather events in late winter and early
spring our plants should come through the winter in ne form.
That means a very good start to gardening in 2011!
While the snow ies, we at Parkland are busy sourcing and
ordering all the wonderful products we have come to be
known for over the past 40 years, plus a number of new
exciting products. We have the widest selection of seeds
(arriving in January), and bulbs (arriving in March) available
in Central Alberta. We do not carry Genetically Modied
Organisms seeds, or bulbs. We do carry a ne selection of
heritage, heirloom, and organic seeds.
Parkland also carries Central Albertas widest selection of
potted owering annuals and vegetables, most of which
are grown in our very own greenhouses. Most exciting this
year are two new phantom petunias. One is an all black
owered variety, and the other black with a cream coloured
star. Both were trialed last year, and were quite excited to
have them for this spring.
Also, we will have red and rose coloured Sun patiens
impatiens, that will grow in full sun; a new setcrea with pink& purple stripes; new varieties of coloured cauliower, more
heritage tomatoes, the list is endless! These will be available
from mid-April on.
There will be mixed salad greens grown right in bio-
degradable, attractively coloured salad bowls, novelty herbs
and vegetables (also grown in biodegradable pots), and so
much more.
Remember to bring in your mesh bottom plastic bedding
plant trays for recycling and you will get a 50 cent credit
coupon for each tray returned in good useable condition.
Adding to all of this years excitement we will provide a variety
of exotic owering plants from Florida in May, which will add
that tropical air to your patio gardens! See you in the spring!

2010 was quite a year in the garden from
a heavy snowstorm at the end of May, to
rain all spring and summer, to a killing
frost the third weekend in September. Wecertainly faced our share of challenges and so, we wonder
how did we all fare, and what might we expect for 2011?

All life in the plant world
is dependent on water to
sustain itself.It is the great dissolver of minerals and
nutrients required for plant growth.
Plants acquire all their food via the
water they take up through their roots
and leaves. Water also ushes away
excessive chemicals and toxic minerals,
or at least dilutes them to harmless levels.
Plants take in water and nutrients by a
process called osmosis. This means the
movement of water from wetter areas
outside the root to less wet conditions
inside the root; and it also means
nutrients move from lower concentrations
in the soil to higher concentrations inside
the root. If an imbalance occurs in theseconditions, the plant will have great
difculty growing.
The most obvious imbalance would be
drought, but the same result happens
when nutrients or adverse minerals in
the soil become too concentrated. This
can be caused by over fertilization or
pollution, but the most common cause
is from the use of irrigation water that is
high in salts or adverse minerals.
The easiest and quickest
recommendations: Collect rainwater,
or melt snow in the winter.
We carry top quality
rain barrels, and a
wide selection of
watering cans!
Alfred Prins

water!
If only itwas that
simple!
1 Many lilacs dont bloom at all until theyare several years old. Some bloom
better, or only, in alternate years.
2 Too much fertilizer. Too much nitrogen
can cause excessive suckering,lessen winter hardiness, increase
vulnerability to pests and disease.
Choose a light application. Select a
fertilizer with a high middle number
high in phosphate. A good choice
would be 4-12-8. Remember: bloom,
prune, then fertilize.

it bloom?3 If its not receiving the six hours of sun it needs, or has
become overshadowed by surrounding landscape, you may
need to thin its environment or relocate the lilac.
4 Root damage can cause the plant to stop owering until its
strength is built back up.5 If soil is not draining well, the plant will appear leggy and
may not survive.
6 Most lilacs are drought-resistant; however, if drought wassevere enough, the lilacs blooming capacity would be
diminished the following year.
7 Too harsh a climate for the type of lilac you have chosen canalso contribute to the plants bloom success. Conversely,
lilacs that do require harsh, cold winters may not bloom in
climate Zone 7 or warmer.
In todays world of high-priced real
estate and smaller yards, garden spaces
are becoming more compact.Gardeners need not despair however, as there are many
options for small gardens, such as:
Grow vines on lattices or arbours
Grow narrow columnar trees such as Swedish Aspen
There are many compact, dwarf shrubs and evergreens that
look great.
Try topiaries sculptured shrubs or evergreens
that look great
Vegetables may be grown in Square Foot gardens, (raisedbeds).
Flowers may be grown in patio planters, hanging baskets, or
boxes and bags that are hung on fences, etc.
Fruit trees may be espaliered to grow up against walls
While it is nice to have some lawn, keep it to a minimum.

The best perennialscome out of the blue
Enjoy beautiful flowers every year when you plant
hardy, Canadian grown Heritage Perennials!
Look for our distinctive blue pots, they are your
assurance of success in your garden.
By Christine Cornelius
Most people
like to have a
strawberry, or
two, growing
in their garden,because there
is nothing better
than a fresh
strawberry.
in
alberta
strawberriesWith all of the information available, it ishard to sift through all the data good,
bad, and ugly.
Three different types of strawberries
are available:
Day-Neutral strawberries that
are medium in size, and produce
throughout the season. Spring until
frost, produce a small harvest, but good
to pick and eat fresh.
Ever bearing strawberries that aremedium to large, and produce twice a
season, great for jam and processing.
June bearing produces large berries
in June, and is great for processing and
fresh eating.
Strawberries need full sun-to grow with
a lot of moisture but not boggy, just
enough to keep the berries sweet and
juicy. If you choose to put strawberries
in containers, then be prepared to over
winter them in the ground. They will dowell in containers, but most people use
them as annuals in those situations. Ifyou plant them in a vegetable garden
they will live for two years. Then you
have to let the runners go. These
produce new rejuvenated
plants and your production stays
high as a result.
When it comes to harvesting, it is also
good to pick them when ripe. The
trick is to beat the birds! You can buy
bird netting to keep them off the rows.
Also remember, on wet seasons thestrawberries will rot if they touch the
ground. A mulch of bark or straw, to
keep the berries dry will help with this
problem.
When the berries have hard tips
they have not been properly pollinated,
or do not have enough moisture. Watch
for these signs.
Growing strawberries is easy, and a
great idea for getting children interested
in gardening!

Leafminers are the larvae of ies that feed or mine between the upper and lower
epidermal leaf surfaces.The larvae tunnel through the leaf creating a narrow, whitish colouredserpentine (winding) mine or blotch type mine. The tunnel is clear, except for the trail of blackfecal material left behind as larvae feed. Leaf miners drop to the soil below the affected trees tocomplete their life cycle.
Birch Leafminer, Fenusa pusillaIn mid-May the adult leafminer emerges from the soil. The
sawies are attracted to vigorously growing birches where the
females insert their eggs singly in developing leaves as they
unfold from the bud. Older leaves are not suitable for egg
laying. Damage, including partially or completely discolouredand hollowed leaves, is due to the larvae feeding between
the upper and lower epidermis of the leaves. After 10 to 15
days the mature larvae have grown to about 6 mm. They then
cut a hole through the leaf and drop to the ground where
they bury themselves and pupate, with adults emerging 2 to
3 weeks later. The complete life cycle takes about 5 weeks.
Most of the damage caused by the birch leafminer occurs
in the spring, since at that time all the leaves are suitable for
infestation by the rst generation of sawies. The second and
succeeding generations of sawies attack only new foliage
at the top of the tree or at the ends of the branches, causing
less damage. Birch leafminer feed on Grey, White, and
European white birches. They rarely feed on black, yellow, or
river birches. The birch leafminer occasionally damage
Alder trees.
NICs Birch Leafminer Guard Canadian benecial nematodes
are a natural product that is safe for the homeowner,
pets, plants and the environment! Birch Leafminer Guard
contains specic benecial nematodes, Steinernema felitia,
Steinernema carpocapsae and Heterohabditis bacteriophora

Sustainability. The concept itself is inspirational; and yet
to achieve it is a huge challenge. We expect humans
and the world we live in to continue indenitely without
external inputs, but can this be possible? In the end it has to bepossible. We must pay attention to the reality that our world is a closed system and
our consumption is limited by what the natural world can offer.
The concept of an ecological footprint,
or our overall impact on the planet,
has existed for decades. How are we
doing? Currently each person needs
on average 2.7 hectares for our current
consumption, based on a world
population of 6.9 billion people. And this
assumes that other organisms need no
resources! The problem is we only have
2.1 hectares per person. In addition,
our population is expected to reach 9
billion by the middle of this century; and
many developing countries are now
following the western model of vast
over-consumption. The good thing is
we can make changes, and one of the
most important is using our gardens to
help increase sustainability. Our capacity
to endure will require a change in the
way we interact with the environment.
Even if you are skeptical that changes
in our climate are the result of our own
actions, I am sure that something has
happened in the last few years to make
you think that perhaps something is
changing. It might be an unusual local
ood or drought, changes in seasonal
weather patterns, or any number of
things. Without a doubt, the level of
carbon dioxide in our atmosphere is
rising and this is a major part of the
sustainability issue. There are many
people talking about such things as
carbon trading, carbon sequestration,
and carbon sink to tackle carbon
dioxide. But how can our garden
spaces tie into such a large and
confusing issue?
There are choices we can make in
life to become more sustainable. Top
of mind awareness on this topic is
becoming more important to more and
more people. I encourage you to work
on your very own carbon sink. The
best thing we can do is focus on the
fact that plants and soils also absorb
a large quantity of carbon in a healthy
environment. In fact, when you look at
any plant, it may surprise you to know it
is essentially 50% carbon. Rich, healthy
topsoil is also loaded with carbon. It is
becoming clear that our gardens are
one of the best places for individuals to:
Sink carbon dioxide
Mitigate habitat destruction
Reduce global transport
Conserve water resources
Grow more local food
Improve water quality and
soil health
And no less important, a rewarding
and relaxing activity. That is human
ingenuity at its nest.
A sustainable garden is about
efciency. Efcient uses of resources
such as water, energy and fertilizersare all important issues. But the most
important efciency in a sustainable
garden should be the amount of time
a gardener has to spend maintainingthe space. The more time left for
relaxing and enjoying it, the better. Allthe suggestions below blend together.
In the end they will reduce the amountof effort required while increasing
productivity, building top soil andboosting the overall health of your
garden. In the end they should give you
more of an opportunity to think about
where to set up the hammock and enjoyyour backyard oasis.
At the BeginningThe rst step is composting. Compost
is a great way to recycle nutrients anddivert up to 30% of material from ourgarbage bins enroute to the landll. It is
wonderful mulch, so it helps replenishthe soil, while increasing soil humidityand biology. To make composting moreeffective and more interesting, consider
sustainabilityBy Simon Hart, The Organic Mechanic

vermicomposting, which is compostingwith the use of worms- very effective.
Dont throw away your lawn clippingsand leaves in the fall. They providevaluable organic material that can beused as compost or mulch, and a little
investigation will show you ways to tidyit up and keep it out of the way until youneed it. Another great mulch, especiallyfor the paths in your veggie patch, isstraw.
Before PlantingConsider such questions as: What is thesoil like? Does the area get a lot of sun?Does the plant need a lot of water? Theseand other issues considered in advancewill let you put the right plants in the rightarea of your garden and group plantswith similar needs together. Remember
you are not trying to ght your garden;choosing the right plants will mean lesstime spent ensuring that plants survive.
Choose WiselyFor many, the use of native plants is thekey to get a more resilient landscapebut be aware of the changes happeningin our weather. Some traditional plantchoices are failing because of winterclimactic conditions while others aresuffering under oppressive summer heat.In fact, changes to the plant hardinesszoning maps, which give gardeners a
guide as to what to plant in their area, arebeing contemplated. Become in-tune,and observing changes, will be the bestway to build regional knowledge. Picka diverse range of plants and create amulti-story garden by using trees, shrubs,owers and groundcover. Scientists at
Brown University have shown that higherbiodiversity produces more organicmatter and more soil carbon than lessdiverse landscapes, even when theyget the same amount of water, sun, andresources.
Water, Water EverywhereWater use is another key issue. Rainbarrels are a great start, but 205 liters(55 gallons) doesnt go very far in themiddle of summer. Buried cisterns wouldhold much more water but not manygardeners are going to go through thetrouble to provide this source of storedwater. Building rich, healthy, mulchcovered top soil is the best water savingoption available to home gardeners.Healthy topsoil acts as a sponge and will
soak in vast amounts of water, storing itfor drier weather.
Perhaps the most negative action relatedto water is the creation of impervioussurface in your garden. In England, theynow realize the harmful effect of paving
over front gardens for extra parking. Itcan cripple the established storm waterrunoff system creating localized ooding.
Remember that fact whenever planninghardscapes in your yard.
Green, Green Grass of HomeWe are all quite fond of our lawns, butso much of our gardening time is spentmowing, edging, watering and weedingthese unnatural monocrops. Considershrinking the size of your lawn as muchas possible. Any of the benets that
people attribute to lawns such as storm
water control or oxygen release areexceeded in diverse raised beds. Andthe time you spend listening to yourlawnmower? The average gas-poweredmower releases as much pollution in onehour as a small car does in 40 hours.Consider buying an electric mowerfor your next purchase to reduce yourcarbon footprint. The best choice hand powered grass cutter such as areel mower releases no emissions, andif the blades are kept sharp, they give abetter cut and require little more effort.
Try to let grass grow a little higher, as thisincreases the efcacy of irrigation. Top
dress your lawn with your homemadecompost or worm castings. This willhelp thatch decompose more quickly,decrease watering needs, and alongwith over-seeding, will virtually eliminateweeds from your lawn. Bear in mind,most problems with lawns relate tomicronutrient deciencies not nitrogen
shortage, so try applying some kelp mealor a liquid kelp product once a season inthe spring to help your lawn through thesummer.
Return of the Veggie PatchThere was a time when virtually everybackyard was full of vegetables. Formany, this was how you fed yourfamilies. This tradition has existedsince the end of nomadic life over10,000 years ago. Until recently,this aspect has been buriedunder mountains of annualowers, chemical treatments and
oversized lawns. These modernlandscapes may look nice butthey provide very little benet.
Growing more of our own food is theessence of local food production and asincere reconnection with our history andthe natural cycles around us. Dont beput off by the traditional rows of plantsfound in pictures of vegetable gardens.
Be innovative. Why not plant vegetablesbetween some perennial owers and
work in some semi dwarf grafted fruittrees as a canopy? The new food gardenwill not look like a vegetable patch at allbut a dynamic, colourful and tasty displayof gardening creativity.
Natures BalanceMake sure that your garden has a broadrange of plants and inviting habitat toencourage biodiversity. The more variedyour plant material, the more opportunityfor benecial wildlife to occupy your
garden. The more obliging wildlife in yourgarden, the fewer pest problems you willhave. In any system, plants will toleratea certain amount of pest pressure. Afterall, they have gotten used to it over thelast 250 million years. Its when a systemis unhealthy that the balance shifts andoutbreaks occur. Building habitat is oneof the most important ways to createa sustainable space in your garden.Water features, mulch, wood and rocksplaced in the landscape, bird feeders andbirdhouses will all make a difference andprovide for creatures in your garden.
Our gardens can be a beautiful place toescape from the hectic pace of our lives.
They can also showcase our appreciationof the natural world and our commitmentto the future. When you are out in thegarden this season, strive for somethingmore, embrace new and old techniquesalike; and then sit back and enjoy yourefforts. Pat yourself on the back for yourindividual contribution in helping ourplanet. Forward thinking ideas shouldhave a place in our gardens, building onhumankinds ingenuity and ability to livesustainably into a greener future.

In the time of the staycation, creating abackyard oasis is becoming more and more
prevalent. So, how do you create an oasis in youryard? The rst step is deciding what features youwould consider as an oasis.
For this yard, using more shrubs than perennials will keep this
lower maintenance allowing more enjoyment time, and less
working in the yard.
By using a variety of plant material you will have more color
throughout the year, from spring with apple blossoms through
summer with the scent of climbing roses on trellises and on
through the fall with blooming sedums, and the leaf color
of dogwoods. Here, in Central Alberta, it is also important
to plan for winter, so by using evergreens, dogwoods, and
ornamental grass, you will always have something beautiful to
look at.
The home oasis is more than just plant choices, it is also
about privacy. But more than that, your yard has to be an
extension of your home, and a place you, and your family,
want to spend time.
This yard has many things that will entice a family. From the
hot tub with a pergola overtop for shade, to a re pit area
which will encourage the family to sit together and make
smores, to large grass areas for the childrens sports.
And for the barbequers in the family - a large 2 level
deck will give them the room to create the best outdoor
cooking area they could imagine. So, the overall feel for the
yard should be somewhere your family can relax and enjoy
spending time together.
