Yesterday we explored the wild side of Vermont with Sheila, today she’s sharing what spring looks like in her garden.

Hi GPODers! Today we’re in the garden of Jo Ann, and seeing how she’s fairing after a move from sunny SoCal to the lush Pacific Northwest:
Calla lilies are gorgeous flowers that grow well in moderate climates; when planting them, striking a balance in growing conditions is very important. For example, if you live in a hot, frost-free climate, grow them in the shade; in a slightly warm climate, provide partial shade; and in cold regions, find a spot that receives part to full sun for best growth.
