There are a large number of avocational garden groups across North Carolina. The stereotype of silver-haired ladies and luncheons is far from the truth—these groups are open to Carolinians of all ages and experience levels.

Several societies are detailed in the article which includes further contact information for interested readers.

To make the most of her garden, she shopped for the necessary characteristics, not plant species. For example, she noted environmental conditions in her yard such as sun, moisture, area available and chose plants that fit those growing requirements.

Abstract:
Plants in the Carolinas run the gamut of colors through the seasons--pastels in the spring, summer with many shades of green foliage, fall with vibrant gold and red-hued leaves. Winter is commonly overlooked with many individuals picturing it as dull and gray. Chase reminds us that there are colors to be seen in winter--winter skies shine with a blue intensity; a number of windflowers have their special winter niches; holly trees with bright red berries; mosses and lichens brighten the scene; and for a surprise color--yellow.
