Gardening sheet quercus berberidifolia
Coastal Sage Scrub Oak is a woody shrub or small tree native to coastal California and Baja California. It has shrub-like growth with many branches bearing small, dark, waxy evergreen leaves. It is drought tolerant once established and grows well in full sun to part shade in well-drained soils. Coastal Sage Scrub Oak provides excellent habitat for birds, insects, and small mammals that eat its acorns. It is easy to grow and requires little care other than occasional removal of leaf litter from around its trunk.

Lawn
Establishment and maintenance of lawn is skilled and technical, for establishing good lawn handy hints are provided, such as selection of grasses, planting, maintenance, weeding, irrigation, lawn protection etc., are covered
Prairies of the great plains
The document discusses the prairies of the Great Plains of North America. It describes three main types of prairies from east to west - tallgrass prairie, mixed grass prairie, and shortgrass prairie - which differ in their dominant grass species and climate due to decreasing precipitation. The prairies originated around 10,000 years ago after glacial retreat left grasslands too dry for forests to reestablish. Today, only small fragments of intact prairie remain due to agricultural and urban development.

It discusses the historic extent of grasslands in North America, the decline in grassland areas, and the threatened and endangered grassland species. It also describes the natural grassland communities that existed in Virginia, the site preparation and planting of native warm season grasses, and important collaborators on the project.
Blueberry Production
This document provides information about Nourse Farms' blueberry production. It details that they grow June strawberries, brambles, blueberries, currants and gooseberries on their farm. For blueberries, they produce mostly pick-your-own and wholesale late in the season. The document then focuses on blueberry plant varieties, tissue culture plug plants, planting prescriptions including adjusting soil pH and using woodchips and sulfur, and different blueberry varieties categorized by ripening time.

Kentucky Residential Rain Gardens ~ University of Kentucky
Kentucky Residential Rain Gardens ~ University of KentuckySchool Vegetable Gardening - Victory Gardens
Residential rain gardens are low areas planted with native vegetation that intercept stormwater runoff and allow it to infiltrate the soil. They reduce runoff by 30% more than lawns by promoting more infiltration. Rain gardens increase groundwater recharge, help protect against flooding and pollution, and provide wildlife habitat. When designing a rain garden, consider the size based on the drainage area and type of soil. Native plants that tolerate wet and dry periods are recommended. Proper installation and mulching helps rain gardens become self-sustaining landscaping features.Perennials for Northern North Dakota
This document provides information on perennials suitable for growing in northern North Dakota. It lists over 30 different perennial plants including asters, black-eyed susans, hostas, iris, peonies, sedum, ornamental grasses and more. For each plant, it describes key characteristics such as height, bloom time, soil and light requirements, hardiness zone, and care tips. The document aims to help gardeners in northern North Dakota select perennials that will thrive in the local climate.

Grevillea juniperina Molonglo is a low spreading, evergreen shrub that reaches 0.4-0.8 meters in height and 1-3 meters in width. It has needle-like green foliage and produces golden flowers with light orange tones from autumn through spring that are visited by birds. It grows well in full sun and prefers well-drained soil, making it suitable for erosion control and attracting wildlife like bees.
Biology Lesson 1.4
Grasses and grass-like plants called graminoids are the most abundant type of flowering plant, covering one third of the Earth's land. There are three main types of grasslands: steppes in semi-arid regions with short grasses, prairies with tall grasses in humid regions like the American Midwest, and tropical savannas with a dry/rainy season and some trees. Important groups of grasses include cereals like wheat and rice, turf grasses for lawns and fields, ornamental and woody grasses, and sugar cane. Sedges resemble grasses but are found in wetlands and have triangular stems while grasses have round stems.
