A New Invasive Species? Here's What You Need to Know About Jumping Worms

1 week ago | gardenista.com | Laura Fenton

If you’ve ever seen adult jumping worms, there’s no mistaking them. Found near the surface of soil and larger than your average worm, jumping worms don’t actually jump, but they thrash and wriggle about so violently it can seem like they are jumping. They have a distinctive raised band near their heads and leave behind castings that look like Grape Nuts cereal.

A Chic and Minimalist Courtyard by Atelier Jose Andrade Rocha: Steal This Look

1 week ago | gardenista.com | Fan Winston

This is a tale of two facades. From the street, this residence in Lisbon, Portugal, blends in with its neighbors, modest, unadorned old townhouses painted in soft shades.

What garden designers put in their own gardens is perhaps more revealing than what they create for their clients, who generally have extensive land, and expansive budgets.

Australian Astroturf, Scleranthus biflorus Some hear the word “astroturf,” and they recoil and roll their eyes. But rest assured, this is not what you think it is. Australian astroturf is a real, living plant, not plastic faux grass. And while its common name is admittedly not the most appealing, this verdant, charmingly squishy ground cover is—and worth searching out.

Trees with white flowers have a way of lifting and lightening a garden’s mood—as well as soothing the mood of the gardener.

Emily Thompson Flowers, the debut book from the New York-based florist, was never going to be like any other flower book, because Thompson is quite unlike any other florist.
