Enchanting Ephemerals for Your Early Spring Garden – Part 1 PUTNAM COUNTY, N.Y. -- With spring finally here, we eagerly await the early blooms of the season. One group of early blooming plants that we often forget to use in our gardens are native spring ephemerals. These plants grow naturally in woodland settings and awake from their winter’s nap coaxed by the sun that penetrates the forest before leaves emerge on the trees. As the name “ephemeral” implies, these small woodland charmers don’t last very long. They start to die back once trees leaf-out, although some ephemeral plants persist longer than others.

Newcomer At William Pitt Sotheby's Finds Appreciation For Agent's Work FAIRFIELD, Conn. -- CJ Rockett has developed a new level of appreciation for the work ethic of real estate agents. Rockett joined the William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty team in Fairfield in January.

I thought it would be easier than commercial, but unless you work really hard, you’re going to fail. Any business you’re in is a relationship game. I didn’t realize how much resi…

Landscape Artist From Hastings Loved Visual Splendor Of Hudson Valley HASTINGS-ON-HUDSON, N.Y. -- Landscape artist Jasper Cropsey came to appreciate the visual splendor of the Hudson Valley late in his professional career.
