Garden Notes

Horticulture expert Dr. Lelia Kelly defines the gardening terms "Woody" and "Herbaceous". A herbaceous plant is one which has succulent tissue and die back when conditions are not right for growth. Woody, however, refers to a plant with hard, woody tissue, such as the case of trees and shrubs.
