With all the talk about boxwood blight, you might be tempted to steer clear of the genus Buxus altogether, but a diverse landscape thrives on variety! This week on the Midweek Program, our Director, Mark, will explain the true impact of boxwood blight on both the nursery industry and home gardens, then highlight the most disease-resistant boxwood varieties, along with some excellent alternatives. Don't miss this practical discussion on managing boxwoods in your garden while expanding your plant palette for healthier, more sustainable landscapes!
