More than how-to garden - there's plenty of practical gardening advice and inspiration here in "The THYMES"  garden library.  
We share our passion for gardening, nature and digging deeper to learn more about our green world in Mecklenburg County, the Piedmont and southeast region, with you and gardeners everywhere. Here you'll find research-based articles on horticulture, gardening and the environment, from among the best and brightest garden writers in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.  
Authored, researched and photographed by Mecklenburg Extension Master Gardener volunteers and our guests from the gardening and horticultural education community covering garden topics from A-X that are specific to USDA Horticultural zones 7b-8a.  Gardening articles posted here are from our library of award-winning, in-house Extension Master Gardener Volunteer newsletter articles "The THYMES".
