The Steuben County Soil & Water Conservation District recently released a video about native plants on their YouTube channel. They discuss the harmful effects of invasive species and the benefits of native plants, explaining how easily they can be incorporated into beautiful landscapes.

Much thanks to Aimee and the SWCD for featuring our work!
As we are getting ready for the 2023 season we wanted to share a few photos from 2022. We put lots of fresh native plants in the ground and maintained many previously installed gardens where the growth of plants over time is able to be seen.
Part of the landscaping business sometimes includes missing out on the chance to see a project grown over time. We are especially grateful to have customers who hire us for maintenance work, giving us the opportunity to see and enjoy our work season after season. If you’re needing help maintaining your landscaping gardens this spring give us a ring!

This past Sunday’s edition of the Journal Gazette featured an article in the Living section discussing the benefits local gardeners have discovered planting native plants in their gardens. The writer of the article, Terry Richardson, interviewed Judith and photographed her home garden to share with the city. There is much excitement in the increased interest that native plants are receiving these days. We at J. Lynne Associates are happy to see these plants getting the attention they need for the benefit of our local ecosystem!
Here is a clip out of the article for you to read. Enjoy!

Each year the International Herb Association (IHA) reports on its chosen Herb of the Year and the herb of 2019 is Anise Hyssop (Agastache foeniculum). This member of the mint family has a wide variety of applications from tea infusions to pollinator attraction in the garden. As a medicinal herb Anise Hyssop is beneficial for digestive function and can help reduce inflammation. The herb is also high in antioxidants and has antimicrobial properties that lend its digestive benefits. The leaves can be used to add flavor to salads, jellies, honey, or distilled spirits for a taste of the garden in your evening cocktail.
In its native ecosystem of North America Anise Hyssop can reach heights of four to five feet with stemmed purple flowers topping the stalks. These bloom in mid to late summer and will self seed readily so be ready for little sprouts in the next season. The benefits of this plants extend beyond their decorative and culinary properties and more is being learned about ancient uses of this herb and how it can be useful in a modern health regimen. The IHA offers a book full of information on the herb of the year that you can check out here if you would like to dig deeper into the soil of the Anise Hyssop (Agastache foeniculum). Pick up a start of a pack of seeds and start growing some Anise Hyssop in your garden this year!
