I ;always enjoy reading about what is going on at the amazing Scott Arboretum. However, it seems this last blog should have had some proofreading before being published. Here are some suggested improvements.

The stunning display of our deciduous magnolias IS beginning…(the verb should agree with display, not magnolias)

Along with ITS fragrance…(the use of the possessive is correct in other places)

…at the corner of THE Dwell Hall planting. (sounds more natural)

…the trilliums, specifically[,} the native… (the 2nd comma in brackets is not necessary)

…this particular trillium species is AN eyecatcher… (obviously an oversight)

…bright yellow[,] petals. (the comma after yellow should be removed)

…is one of many [ is an ] evergreen conifers… (clearly the writer changed her mind but neglecting to delete the bracketed words)

I don’t expect my comments to be published. I simply want to help and suggest someone take an opportunity to make some corrections.

Thank you.

John Schucker… a frequent reader
