Potting Up Hundreds of Bare-Root Roses

6 days ago | themarthablog.com | Martha Stewart

My gardeners and outdoor grounds crew are rushing to get hundreds of bare-root cuttings into pots before the holiday weekend. Earlier this week, I received a huge delivery of bare-roots and young transplants from Star Roses and Plants, a company of brands that focuses on breeding and introducing specimens offering longer-lasting, disease resistant blooms. On the day they arrived, my team potted up more than 100 arborvitae and dogwood trees.

April 14, 2025 Planting Azaleas Developing any garden, big or small, takes time, planning, and lots of patience. Four years ago, I decided to create a giant azalea border along both sides of the carriage road between my Summer House and my stable. I wanted to plant lots of colorful azaleas - a variety of unique specimens in shades of pink, orange, crimson, and white. I already have many mature azaleas flourishing in this area, but I wanted to expand the collection.

Online cooking experiences are a great way to learn everything from mis en place to plating - all from the comforts of one's own home. This week, I conducted a LIVE cooking demo for 50 executive clients of Calix, Inc., a leading software platform, cloud, systems and services provider.
Removing Burlap Covers

April 11, 2025 Removing Burlap Covers And just like clockwork, this time every year my outdoor grounds crew begins the process of removing all the burlap around the farm exposing the lush green boxwood that has been covered all winter long. Every autumn for as long as I’ve been gardening I’ve covered my boxwood shrubs and outdoor ornamental urns to protect them from the season’s heavy snowfall, freezing temperatures, and damaging winds.

Do you know… one large, mature tree can can produce about 270-liters of oxygen a day? That's just nearly half of what the average human needs in a day. Our earth needs trees!Every year I plant as many trees as possible here at my farm - it's one way I can give back to the environment and help create a cleaner, healthier and more sustainable planet for my grandchildren and for everyone. As you saw in yesterday's post, I recently received the season's first shipment of bare-root tree cuttings.

April 9, 2025 Potting Bare-Root Cuttings I love trees and every year I plant thousands of them here at my farm. Trees are extremely important to our environment - they are the world’s single largest source of breathable oxygen, they absorb carbon dioxide and potentially harmful gasses, and they create an ecosystem to provide needed habitat and food for birds and other animals.
Spring Mulching - The Martha Stewart Blog

2 weeks ago | themarthablog.com | Martha Stewart

April 8, 2025 Spring Mulching Mulching in spring prepares my gardens for the growing season and gives them all a finished look. Mulch helps to prevent weeds and soil erosion, improve moisture retention, and provide insulation. Fortunately I am able to make my own mulch and compost. During the course of the year, my outdoor grounds crew amasses large amounts of organic debris - felled trees, branches, leaves, etc., but none of the material goes to waste.
Attending Harvard's Hasty Pudding

2 weeks ago | themarthablog.com | Martha Stewart

Whenever possible I always encourage friends and family to share their photos from events and gatherings we've attended. Last month, I went to Harvard’s Hasty Pudding, a comedy musical extravaganza that was written, performed, and produced by Harvard University students. Though the cast and crew were young, their theatrical organization, Hasty Pudding, is the oldest in the country - its first performance was in 1844.

April 1, 2025 A Guest Blog from a Trip to Istanbul and Dubai Here at my farm, whenever a member of my team returns from vacation, I always encourage them to share their photos. It's always interesting to see various sites from someone else's view. Not long ago, my outdoor grounds crew foreman, Chhiring Sherpa, his wife Ang Pema, and their son Mingmar, returned from a brief trip to Istanbul, the only city in the world that straddles both Europe and Asia.
