Garden-pedia: An A-to-Z Guide to Gardening Terms

Annual or biennial?  Or would you prefer perennials?  Evergreen or deciduous?  Herbaceous or woody?   Cool season or warm?  These are some of the basic, essential horticultural terms you will come across time over - be it reading your favourite gardening blog,  shopping at one of the better nurseries, browsing through a seed/plant catalogue, consulting a professional gardener or just simply trying to read a plant tag.  Knowing what these terms mean can make the difference between having a successful garden or complete garden failure which in turn could cause frustration and lead you to believe that you don't have a green thumb at all.  Believe it or not, we all have a green thumbs inside of us and a little basic education will help set you on the right track!
