"The Nature Fix" with Florence Williams
|
 Reems Creek is very excited to help bring Florence Williams to the NC Arboretum!
The NC Arboretum is hosting award-winning science and nature writer Florence Williams at the Arboretum on Wednesday, April 12 for an inspiring talk about the power of nature to make us happier, heathier and more creative.
 The Nature Fix: Florence Williams on Why Time in Nature Makes Us Happier, Healthier & More Creative
At The North Carolina Arboretum
Wed. April 12 from 6 - 7:30 p.m.
Instructor: Florence Williams
$20 Non-member Adult
Spending just five more minutes in nature can have untold benefits. What’s the cure for our modern malaise of stress, distraction, and screen addiction? Nature, of course. Those of us who enjoy walking the Arboretum’s trails, putting our hands in the soil for spring gardening, or observing migrating birds all know the restorative powers of time in nature. But while many people advocate the benefits of getting outside, we are only just beginning to understand...More info and register.
This program is presented through Adult & Continuing Education Programs at the Arboretum in collaboration with Reems Creek Nursery, Asheville Wellness Tours, and Malaprop's Bookstore.
Prior to the Wed, April 12 events inspired by The Nature Fix, Arboretum Reads will gather in person or online to discuss The Nature Fix book on Thursday, April 6, facilitated by Rebecca Caldwell.

PLANT
- Plant trees, shrubs, perennials, and hardier annuals.
- Plant cool season veggies (greens, spinach, broccoli, beets, cabbage, carrots, onions, potatoes, radishes, and more. Cool season veggie transplants just went on sale at 25% off!
- Plant fruits, asparagus crowns, strawberries, and hardy herbs.
- Start warm-season veggie transplants indoors.
- Wait to plant warm-season veggies/tender herbs/tender annuals outside until after Mother’s Day. This includes plants like tomatoes and peppers, basil, and zinnias.
PRUNE
- Prune roses now.
- Prune spring-flowering shrubs after they bloom, and then fertilize them.
FERTILIZE
- Fertilize cool season vegetables.
- Fertilize trees, shrubs, and perennials in mid-April. This can be helpful after the past winter’s cold damage.
- Fertilize roses when you can see the first bud color and fertilize regularly after that according to fertilizer instructions. Roses are heavy feeders.
- Fertilize fruit if not already done.
MORE
- After weeding, mulch flower beds and vegetable gardens – preventing weeds is so much easier than later pulling weeds.
- Mow lawns at 3” to help prevent weeds throughout the growing season. Mowing shorter than 3" invites weeds to sprout in scalped areas.
- Hang hummingbird feeders around mid-April.
- Bluebirds have been spotted! It's time to put up bluebird houses. Don't plant anything around the pole, as bluebirds like to be able to see the ground around them. We have bluebird houses in stock.
- Wait until late May to determine whether plants are dead. The warmer weather will give them a chance to revive. Some, like figs, may revive from the roots if the gardener is patient.
