An eye-popping property fi lled with yellows, purples, pinks, and other bold colors is sure to catch anyone's eye. However, the right plant for a prop- erty is not always the most colorful. Gardening novices can easily be overwhelmed on a trip to their local garden center, where employees may ask a host of ques- tions that have little to do with homeowners' prefer- ences and everything to do with the growing condi- tions around their proper- ties. Those questions may seem a little intense, but they're well-intentioned. Successful gardening is more about soil condi- tions and access to sun- light than it is about the plants themselves. An awe-inspiring hydrangea bush will only impress if it's planted in a location where it can thrive. The Landscape, Nursery and Urban Forestry pro- gram at UMass Amherst Extension advises home- owners to learn about the following site conditions, and ultimately share that knowledge with local gar- den center representa- tives, before they pick and plant anything around their properties. • Hardiness zone: The Plant Hardiness Zone Map from the U.S. Department of Agriculture is designed to help gardeners deter- mine which plants are most likely to thrive where they live. The map can be found on the USDA web- site at www.usda.gov. • Light availability, inten- sity, and duration, from full sun to deep shade: Prior to planting, homeowners can document this infor- mation in a notebook or on their smartphones. Do so for a long enough period of time that you can get an accurate of idea of the conditions in which plants will have to grow, and then take that information with you to the garden center where you will buy your plants. Employees can then use this info to help you fi nd the right fi t given the light conditions. • Water availability, both quantity and quality, as well as ease of access • Exposure to wind and temperature extremes • Exposure to weather events, snow loads, ero- sion, and fl ooding: Gar- den center employees can likely recommend plants based on traditional weath- er patterns in a given area. • Soil type, drainage and compaction: Homeowners can take note of any areas of their property where water pools or the ground feels especially soggy af- ter rainfall. Share this infor- mation with garden center employees prior to picking plants for such areas. If soil appears compacted, aeration prior to planting may be necessary. • Competition from exist- ing vegetation, keeping in mind the roots under- ground that you can't see • Above ground wires or obstructions: Trees will grow up, and the pres- ence of power lines or other obstructions may threaten the trees or prove dangerous if trees eventu- ally grow into or hang over power lines. Knowledge of various conditions prior to plant- ing can save homeowners the cost of replacing plants and the hassle of dealing with plants that don't take.• Hardiness zone: The Plant Hardiness Zone Map from the U.S. Department of Agriculture is designed to help gardeners determine which plants are most like- ly to thrive where they live.
