Keeping It Green
Our landscapes have many functions; they add beauty to our surroundings, provide a place to recreate, reduce stress, and clean and cool the surrounding environment. They also provide pollen and nectar for pollinators and provide habitat for birds. Keeping It Green is a weekly podcast in which Penn State extension educators talk with ornamental plant professionals and enthusiasts who add beauty and function to our landscapes. Topics will range from design, installation and maintenance, plant selection, pests, and other current horticulture topics.

Episode 22
The podcast team gets together to kick around their thoughts on a variety of horticultural topics and asks several deep questions:
- Why are there all those planes flying around central Pennsylvania?
- What is stressing out the sycamores across the state, causing the leaves to turn ‘crispy’?
- And on the hunt for clues in arborvitae branch dieback.
