1:23 Eucalyptus as an Annual Host Casey Hentges explains how even though eucalyptus is a tropical plant, it can thrive in the Oklahoma landscape as an annual. In colder climates, above cold hardiness zone 9, eucalyptus will grow as an annual. The further south it is, the more eucalyptus is a perennial.

6:13 How National Garden Bureau Helps Gardeners Diane Blazek, Executive Director of AAS and National Garden Bureau, gives us some information about the National Garden Bureau and how they can provide the link between the garden community and garden influencers and the industry members who make it all happen.
