I SOOOOOOOOO do not have a green thumb! Every spring I try to plant new greenery in my flower beds and each year only a very few little plants make it a year. EEK! I have learned that local plants usually last the longest and I SUPER excited to learn that The Arboretum is experimenting with local plants to see which plants will make it in this DFW climate. Get all the deets in Karel Holloway's article in the DMN.
