Vancouver gardening experts Allen Wilson and wife Loretta Freidel-Wilson are now blogging on Columbian.com. “Gardening with Allen and Loretta” will cover new or unusual ideas in gardening as well as local examples of good and bad landscaping techniques.

Allen Wilson is a retired Professor of Landscape Horticulture at Ricks College (now Brigham Young University-Idaho) and a gardening columnist for the Idaho Falls Post Register. He and Loretta Wilson-Freidel operate Natural Pruning & Landscaping in Vancouver.

Here’s their introductory blog post, Our new gardening blog:

“You will read plenty about pruning because it is one of the most poorly performed practices in gardening. We will include humorous and interesting gardening stories. We will include answers to your gardening questions and links to other gardening sites where you can find additional information.

“We would like to have lots of feed-back from readers. Tell us what you think about what we have written. Send in your garden questions. Do you have other approaches or techniques which you can suggest? You are invited to write your own blog on gardening topics you like. Whether you are an avid gardener or a home owner who would like to have a pretty landscape, or even if you hate gardening, please join in the conversation.”
