Ferns predate the dinosaurs — they’ve survived for hundreds of millions of years, and the odds are good that they can survive in your yard.
The Director of Reiman Gardens, Ed Lyon, joins this horticulture day episode of Talk of Iowa and offers advice for growing thriving ferns. Then Aaron Steil joins the show to help answer your horticulture questions.
Guests:
- Ed Lyon, director of Reiman Gardens in Ames
