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.

Every year we celebrate the magic of these beautiful pollinators up close with a Live Observation Hive, where you can watch bees at work and learn all about their crucial role in our ecosystem. 🐝✨ Our friend Antonio Cabrera will be here with his hive and available to answer all the questions you have about these fascinating creatures. But that’s not all! One of the highlights of the day is a Group Butterfly Release which will happen at 10 AM sharp! 🌈 Release your very own butterfly into the wild and make a wish as you watch these stunning creatures take flight.


Bring your family and friends for a day of fun, education, and a celebration of nature’s wonders! 🌿💖

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.

There's always something new coming into the nursery. We are receiving fresh perennials, annuals, herbs and veggies weekly, not to mention fresh shipments of shrubs, grasses, container trees and even large spruce & pine trees. Come in often to make sure you don't miss something you've been looking for!
