Cassie Banning’s Fertilizer List

Dear Members:
Last week Cassie Banning of the Land and Garden Preserve treated  us to an introduction to three incredible Downeast Maine gardens (Asticou Azalea Garden, Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Garden, and Thuya Garden) and we learned there is such a thing as plant stakes painted Delphinium Green. (I for one might currently be considering that color for a room in my house!) After a survey of the extensive maintenance schedule required for those beautiful and densely planted landscapes, Cassie sent along the list of their favored fertilizers for our reference. Enjoy!
