This week I'm visiting a the Biblical Garden at Rodef Shalom in Oakland where plants from the bible are used to create an important landscape.I'm also showing off a huge hardy tropical plant, explaining why watering is so boring, celebrating happy cucumbers, suggesting a small tree for a garden friend and Luke Werner from The Davey Tree Expert Company continues our watering talk, explaining how to give the trees the water they need.

For this week’s In Doug’s Garden by Davey Tree I’m visiting a garden that I started to work on, then turned over to the master gardeners, who have created a wonderful landscape. A look at two beautiful lilies, out of place paw paw trees, a pretty native perennial for pollinators and a simple test for tree health by Rob Kruljac from the Davey Tree Expert Company.

This week I'm visiting the Kid's Corner garden in Ligonier, where parents and their children work together weekly in a community garden. I'm also showing off a hydrangea that's a reliable bloomer and supports breast cancer research. There are three, cool native plants to discuss and Rob Kruljac from Davey Tree gets us ready for the storm season.

This week Jordyn Melino from Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens gives us a special tour of "Under The Sea," the theme of this year's Summer Flower Show. Check out another cool plant that "You Should Grow," a garden question about shrubs and Rob Kruljac from Davey Tree tells us all about spotted lanternfly.

I used a recipe from my wife’s late grandmother, who immigrated from Italy to make an omelet with dandelions. They are one of the most nutritious plants in the world. I also made a garlic mustard pesto and both dishes went over pretty well with Heather and David.

This week I'm working with the team from Farm to Table Buy Fresh Buy local to plant a community garden at Orchard Park in Duquesne. We meet an amazing young gardener too. I'm answering a question about how to plant zinnias, do some important harvesting on garlic and then feature the 22nd Annual Doug Oster Plant Swap and Garden Hullabaloo.
