This week I travel to Rankin to see the Carrie Furnace National Historic Landmark and get a tour of the Iron Garden. It's a unique, wild garden where two blast furnaces once stood.I'm answering a question about what we should NOT grow for ticks, and showing a perennial which blooms from April to November.
Luke Werner stops by to calm my fears about two different plants.

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.

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.
