Wright created the initial design of the landscape, and you’ll hear about the important additional designs of Ellen Biddle Shipman, a pioneering Arts and Crafts landscape designer whose classic garden designs are known throughout the country.

Hi Connie, that’s a good question for the Master Gardeners. See contact information here. I hope that helps.
This a question unrelated to above topic but I NEED HELP.
Every year, I get these weeds that look like onions – thin upright leaves with tiny bulbs underground, sometimes with another clump of bulbs. They are really deep and goes down at least 3-6 inches and very hard to pull. Don’t know the name. Any solution other than laboriously pulling them m? Thanks.
