In Forum’s Summer 2026 issue, Ron Balthazor shares his thoughts and pictures from his beautiful home and garden in rural Georgia. If you didn’t see Ron’s story in the summer issue, be sure to check it out here.

What’s growing in your garden these days?

Forum Editor Danny Heitman had that question on his mind after reading Balthazor’s story. He’s been lucky to see some lovely wonders in his Louisiana yard lately, including a flowering clematis vine on his patio.

We’d love to see what’s growing in your part of the world. Share your experience with us and join the conversation. We’d enjoy seeing what Phi Kappa Phi’s green thumbs are up to.
