Happy Holidays to all of our plant friends out there who follow the JLBG blog. I’m sitting here with my blogging companion, Kit Kat, writing some holiday season posts. I’m pretty sure Kit Kat is actually dreaming about Santa filling her food bowl, then giving her a tummy rub. We expect most of you are

Walmart may have official greeters, but we have check out Jasper. The twelve year-old Jasper Avent serves both as our official greeter, checkout guardian, and official tour guide. We’re sure many of you have had the chance to meet, chat, and walk the gardens with Jasper when you visited.

If you’ve been to visit JLBG, you’ve probably met some members of our welcoming committee. If not, it’s been a while since we introduced you to our furry-tailed staff. You can meet them during our Summer Open Nursery & Garden Days, July 16-18 & 23-25, 2021. Jasper is our elder statesman, and has mastered the

I’ve discovered that after everyone leaves at the end of each day, Jasper sneaks down to our patch of Kitty Crack (aka: Teucrium marum) and takes a few hits…for medicinal stress relief purposes, I’m sure. Kitty crack is sooo much better than catnip!
