Garlic was first cultivated over 5,000 years ago in regions of modern-day Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. Ancient trade routes introduced it to the Mediterranean, Africa, and eventually the Americas.

It’s now a foundational flavor in many cuisines, valued for its pungency, versatility, and ability to enhance other ingredients.

Many flowering vines are low-maintenance, pest-resistant, and capable of adapting to the diverse microclimates across the state.

By focusing on adaptability and sustainability, gardeners can enjoy vibrant, long-lasting blooms that complement the area’s natural beauty.

Junipers are native to North America, Europe, Asia, and parts of Africa. They thrive in various climates, from deserts to mountain slopes.

Many junipers can live 50–150 years in the right conditions. Some wild species, like the Western Juniper, have been documented at over 1,000 years old.
