<p dir="ltr">Hi everyone. It learned today that not everybody realizes that the Cultivator for July and August is published. Ava included an announcement and link for it in her weekly announcement email last week. Just scroll down to "Miscellaneous" and you will find the link, or just go online (<a href="https://web.extension.Illinois.edu">https://web.extension.Illinois.edu</a>) to find it. It is a big beast--30 pages and lots of photos, including some of mine from the Chelsea Flower Show. Diann Thoma and I were on the same amazing trip, so I assure you that you want to catch her presentation on the 29th. I plan more articles and photos from the trip for upcoming Cultivator editions as well. But for a quick peek at Chelsea, check out this edition of the Cultivator.<br>
And I am currently accepting articles and material for the September and October issue of the cultivator. Please submit those to me by August 15.<br>
Thanks everyone. <br>
Enjoy the sunshine and stay cool. <br>

<p>Have you ever considered how important your garden or property is to sustaining life? We live in a world dominated by urban landscapes, with wildlife habitat being lost at an alarming rate. You can help balance this loss by creating new habitat with a well-planned landscape of native plants. Enjoy the pleasure of more butterflies and birds visiting your garden. Discover that native plants succeed with less maintenance than the alternative. Enjoy the natural beauty of plants evolved over thousands of years to thrive in this habitat.</p>
