It’s the time of the year when one of the most lovely scents hangs in the air. 

It’s Lilac time!  

Jack, Lynne and Matt McFarland discuss one of the most fragrant horticultural blooms, the Lilac, on this week’s episode of The Growing Season.

Jack kicks off the show with a story about a song. 

Lilacs came all the way from Europe. Matt has a realization. 

Subdivision lilacs vs farm lilacs are discussed.

Imagine if you will features phlox and lilacs. 

How do you prune your Lilac?  Is it different than other plant materials? 

Canadian Lilac hybridizers? YUP!  Let’s discuss. 

How do you know if something should be in full sun?  Lynne assists. 

“A good, hard, stressful prune…” What is that? 

Matt discusses a fantastic client and their newly designed landscape.
