| Russell’s garden is filled with wildflowers and exotic plants. |
The “world famous horticulturist from Tulsa, OK,” Russell has been a gardening columnist for 27 years. He’s contributed to several popular garden books and has written countless magazine articles. When he’s not tending an extensive collection of both wildflowers and exotic plants in his hillside cottage garden, this longtime member of the Garden Writers Association is out lecturing and traveling.

| Tips |
- “Many daffodils naturalize well in Plains and Upper Midwest lawns, but to make flower buds for the next year, the foliage needs to ripen (turn yellow) before you mow the area.”
- “With our hot, dry summers and cold, harsh winters, a few inches of mulch provide good advantages for plants and the soil.”

| Quotes |
- “One of the major successes for container planters is good drainage.”
