This is truly an event you won’t want to miss. Beyond the usual opportunities to buy regular and decorative pumpkins, fall decor, and much more, this year we will be bringing back HawkQuest where you and your family will get up close and personal with several Birds Of Prey! These special creatures will be on our patio for continuous presentations and interactions from 11-1pm.

Snappy Face Painting will be in the house from 10-1. This is a free activity that delights children (and adults) of all ages!

Oh, and who's up for a craft beer provided by our partners Fiction Beer Company. They will be serving their special brews from 11-1 or until the beer runs out!

And if all that is not enough, we will also have a kids activity table, photo opportunities, fresh popped popcorn, other sweet treats and drinks.

Whew! See you all on the patio this Saturday Oct 5!

General Landscaping

It's fall cleanup time!
Add mulch to the base of trees & shrubs to prevent moisture evaporation
After a hard frost wrap your tree trunks to prevent winter sun scald damage (we have wrap for you in the gift shop)
Set up a schedule to winter water your trees. Landscape plantings will need to be watered twice a month when temperatures are above 40 degrees throughout the winter. Please keep in mind that snow does not count as watering unless we have a very heavy spring snow

Shrubs, Perennials & Bulbs

Start dreaming of riots of color in the spring by planting spring blooming bulbs: tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, crocus, and giant alliums!
Cut back perennial flowers - if the foliage is disease free, add the cuttings to your compost pile
Dig up tender dahlias and gladiolas and store for next year
Apply mulch around your roses to protect them through the winter months

Veggies, Fruit & Herbs

Continue to enjoy the fruits of your labor while the weather holds
Clean veggie beds and apply a moderate (1" - 3") layer of compost
Extend your season by adding a cold frame around your cool season crops

Annuals

Rough till your annual beds and add a layer of compost
Toss out spent summer annual plantings
Clean pottery and move to storage
