The work that Janet Carson takes home needs watering, writes Ron Wolfe.
Carson’s how-to-grow-it advice column, “In the Garden,” appears every Saturday in the Democrat-Gazette’s Style section. She is a horticulture specialist for the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service, and coordinator of the state’s Master Gardener program.
At home, “I try to practice what I preach,” she says. Flowers and vegetables, herbs and other greenery and a water garden surround the cultivation columnist’s house in Little Rock.
How well does Carson’s advice work for her? On a shaded corner lot that makes gardening especially tricky? In the front yard, in order to catch as much sunlight as possible?
