I absolutely love cemeteries and one of my favorite cemeteries is Graceland cemetery in Chicago on Clark Street. Stacy I know you would absolutely love it there. And Stacy also You must visit the Northwestern Shakespeare Garden. It is a bit of a treasure hidden away on the campus of Northwestern University in downtown Chicago. Although not a citrus, I'm waiting for my medlar tree to arrive in April because I had heard so much about them and they were very hard to acquire and it being hardy to this area, it was quite the find! I love unusual trees and therefore I'll be waiting for mine to arrive in Spring.

[@pwcolorchoice]

Oooh, thanks for the tips! Lucky to have Chicago close by so will add these to my list of places to visit. That's so exciting about your medlar tree! You'll have to keep us updated on it and how it does for you 🤗😄

[@wendywelsh2737]

Love your show! Wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Thanks for bringing me joy every Saturday morning.

Loved the show as usual! Especially the part about the botanical garden. I would love it if you dedicated an entire show to must see botanical gardens in the U.S. I would love to start visiting them!

[@pwcolorchoice]

Thank you for that feedback! We will definitely be highlighting more spectacular botanical (and other) gardens in upcoming episodes 🤗

[@youbetcha108]

Whenever you travel make a point of visiting the botanical garden. It’s a great learning experience !

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Blessed Yule, Rick, Stacy & Adriana !! Could you do an episode on winter sowing as it's that time again? Thanks for another year of wonderful puns, information and & ideas! Looking forward to 2025 episodes! --- side note* We want more Plant Panel episodes!!!---

[@pwcolorchoice]

Happy Holidays to you, friend! Thank you so much for supporting us and our show 🥰 That's a great suggestion, we will cover winter sowing in an upcoming episode ☺ and yes, we'll be posting more plant panel videos after the new year 🤗🥳

[@emkn1479]

@@pwcolorchoice Yes, please! Just today I learned the name of the originator…no one mentioned it before. Trudi Greissle Davidoff.

[@rogerboeve4658]

I have three Lindera Augustifolia after watching a video of Allan Armitage garden. Spectacular

[@pwcolorchoice]

Such a wonderful plant! 😄

[@josweatt898]

Thank you and Merry Christmas to all! Thanks for the reminder to fertilize my citrus> I have Meyer Lemon , Pink Lemonade Lemon, a Lime and Calamondin Orange. They Live in my greenhouse all winter where they seem to be the happiest and will be maturing their fruits. My favorite cemetery to visit is Crown Hill in Indianapolis. I do need to explore the Elmwood cemetery in Memphis which is not too far from me as it is one of the south's oldest.

[@pwcolorchoice]

Merry Christmas to you! That's quite a fabulous citrus collection you have 😍 Just looked at both of those cemeteries and they look beautiful!

[@youbetcha108]

Merry Christmas🎄 and Happy New Year!!🥂🍾🎉 to Stacy Rick and Adrianna! Thank you😊 for your kind advice and replies to my comments! I’m looking forward to seeing my newest bulb additions the tiny tulips which I saw at an arboretum and bought from Brecks. They are adorable but I think part of the fritillaria or crocus family not the tulip family and they were costly. I will add those over time if they bloom in spring! ❄️🥰7 a New York

[@pwcolorchoice]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, friend! ❤🤗 It sounds like you have a wonderful collection of bulbs! 😍

[@emkn1479]

I grew several ‘Flying Dragon’ from seed and can’t wait for them to bulk up. Saw them while on a trip and I was immediately obsessed. Woah! Had no idea about the rue/citrus relation! Thanks for the education!

[@pwcolorchoice]

That's awesome! Such a cool plant 😄🤗

[@CynLynRin]

Garden cemeteries are remarkable. If you are heading down I-75 to Flordia, Oakland Cemetery is about half a mile off the interstate near downtown Atlanta and one of the most beautiful cemeteries in the country. Founded in 1850, it is also the final resting place of golfer Bobby Jones and author Margret Mitchell.

[@pwcolorchoice]

Oh wow, that sounds like a beautiful one! Thank you for sharing ☺

[@tsahaisantiagoSa-Hi]

Merry Christmas Happy Holidays and thank you all for doing what you do. Can I make a suggestion to have a segment on wetland plants/trees and shrubs? I just planted 2 bald cypress and on an online site they’re suggesting a few blue cypress being water tolerant but I’m thinking they may not mean wetland tolerant; would you agree?

[@pwcolorchoice]

Thank you so much, we're so glad to hear that you enjoy our show! That's a great suggestion - we will certainly cover wetland plants in a future episode ☺🤗

[@EmilysGarden902]

I was gifted beautiful 5ft + lemon tree and fiscus tree from a friend who was downsizing. Now I know what I did to kill the lemon 😂

[@pwcolorchoice]

Haha, hey gardening is all about learning 😄

[@pattikulesza6203]

Why don’t we see kumquat trees for sale? Chicago area, as houseplants

[@lynnthorson1349]

I'm with Rick...I'm definitely not a fan of the color teal!
