June 2026

Summer Is Upon Us
Hanging Baskets.3.2024

June is the perfect time to plant anything and everything! Mild temperatures make transplanting less stressful on all plants including trees and shrubs. Use a root simulator to jump start growth and development and begin to establish a watering schedule!

   

It is also time to get hanging baskets outside and fill pottery and planters with blooming annuals and perennials. Utilize fertilizer high in phosphorus like "Jack’s Blossom Booster” weekly to continue lush blooms and color! And don't forget your veggies & herbs.



June Hours:

Monday - Friday 8-6

The Garden Guardians Have Landed

Natural pest control using ladybugs and praying mantises offers an environmentally friendly and effective solution to managing garden pests. Ladybugs are renowned for their appetite for aphids, mites, and other harmful insects, helping to keep plant populations healthy without the need for chemical pesticides. Similarly, praying mantises are versatile predators, capable of consuming a wide range of pests, including caterpillars and beetles. By encouraging these beneficial insects in gardens, gardeners can promote a balanced ecosystem, reduce reliance on harmful chemicals, and ultimately achieve healthier plants. This approach not only protects the environment but also fosters a more sustainable method of gardening, creating a thriving habitat for both plants and beneficial insects. Come get yours today!

WHAT ARE YOU GETTING FOR DAD?

 

Looking for a great idea for a gift for Father's Day? Consider a bonsai tree. It is a small tree or plant that has been carefully cultivated and trained to remain miniature in size. The art of bonsai originated in China and was later developed in Japan. It involves techniques such as pruning, wiring, and potting to shape the tree and control its growth.


Bonsai trees can resemble full-sized trees found in nature, with realistic features like branches, leaves, and bark. They are usually grown in shallow pots and require regular care, including watering, fertilizing, and trimming, to maintain their small size and encourage healthy growth. Bonsai is not just about creating a tiny tree; it's also about capturing the beauty and spirit of nature in a small, manageable form.


Our very own Tom Kern has a special affinity toward this art and has several started. Consider coming in, taking a look, and seeing if this is a good gift choice for the father in your life.

At PLN there’s always something exciting and fresh to discover! We receive new shipments of perennials, annuals, herbs, and vegetables every week, along with an array of shrubs, ornamental grasses, and container trees. Plus, our impressive selection of large spruce and pine trees is fully stocked and waiting for you. Be sure to visit us frequently so you don’t miss out on that perfect plant you’ve been searching for!
