A Review of Dave's Garden

It's funny, at work we often talk of different plants for our gardens and are constantly searching the web for answers.

Today, my girlfriend was looking at a calendar at a beautiful picture of scarlet ivy covering the outside of an old building. We just had to get more information to see if we could incorporate this gorgeous creeper into our own landscaping.

So, we did a search for scarlet hued Virginia creeper (ivy) and came across a site that not only gave us information about the plant itself, but included comments from others offering their own experiences with this particular plant.

Turns out, many have had "not so great" experiences with it. Due to it's similarity to poison ivy, it is highly irritating or as they say on Dave's Garden website "Handling plant may cause skin irritation or allergic reaction".

Not only have people had what seems to be severe allergic reactions, they have also found that it is out of control and rather invasive.

I am glad we took the time to search out the details on what we still think is a true beauty...ain't it always the way...beautiful yet dangerous?

I wanted to share this website with you and encourage you to bookmark it for future reference...before you go out and pick an unfamiliar plant...head over to Dave's Garden to get the full scoop BEFORE running to the nursery:)
