There's nothing quite like freshly picked lettuce, sun-drenched basil, or crisp parsley! The efforts you invest in your garden translate directly into delicious rewards.
Some varieties in the garden are already well-established. Those sown in early spring have taken the lead—peas, beans, spinach, onions, cabbages, to name a few. They tolerate cool temperatures rather well.

However, depending on the year, early planting in the garden can be risky! May 2025 brought persistently cool temperatures, especially overnight. Tomato, pepper, eggplant, and herb plants had to wait patiently in shelter for more favorable conditions.
If you haven't done so yet, come pick up the varieties you're missing! It's also a good time to plan your second round of sowing for fast-growing crops like lettuce, radishes, bok choy, and more.

The box tree moth, Cydalima perspectalis Walker, is an invasive pest whose larvae voraciously feed on boxwood leaves. To combat them, start by visually inspecting your shrubs regularly.
If you spot larvae, BTK (Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. Kurstaki) is an easy-to-use biological pesticide, available in-store. Our advisors will show you how to apply the treatment properly.
 
 
 
 
The top three factors in making your choice: budget, how much foot traffic the area gets, and the gardener's patience.
Sod comes at a higher cost, requires careful installation and monitoring of watering—but you'll be able to use the area sooner.
 
More affordable, lawn seed needs well-prepared soil, dense seeding, gentle watering, and more patience. The soil stays exposed longer and the area needs to remain unused for a time so the grass can take root and thrive.
 
For spots that aren't ideal for traditional lawn, seeding is often the better option. Seed mixes include a greater variety of grasses suited to different light and soil conditions—definitely worth considering!
 
 
 
 
 
Also known as buttonbush or common buttonbush, this rare native shrub shines in early summer with creamy white, fragrant spherical flowers—hence the name. Later in the season, its round pompom-like fruit rise above the light green foliage. Size varies by cultivar, but this elegant shrub typically grows up to 1.5 meters wide and 3 meters tall—ideal for urban gardens. It thrives in moist soils and tolerates clay, making it perfect for planting near a pond or water feature.
