HINGHAM, Mass. - s4story -- June was the perfect start to Summer over here at Mequoda Publishing Network. Our gardens are thriving and we are soaking up the sunshine. We are also soaking up some great information from partners that we love and trust. My petunias are thriving, my weeds are demolished, and I am sipping on my Lemongrass Cooler while my foil-pack meal cooks on the grill.

National Garden Bureau is our go-to for information from some of the best experts out there. In June they shared with us great tips about petunias. Use the tips directly from their experts for your own blooming petunias. NGB also has a vast library of knowledge on other plants. Visit their website today for tips on tending to your own personal haven.
