In September, we shift our focus toward fall landscaping and gardening. Planting trees and shrubs this time of year will give them a big jump on growth come spring. This is when we offer a variety of plants suitable for autumn planting such as mums, asters, and ornamental kale to refresh tired beds & containers. It's also a good opportunity to start planting bulbs for beautiful spring blooms! Come talk to us on advice on preparing your garden for the colder months ahead, including how critical it is to winter water and tips to protect plants from frost and extending the growing season.
September Hours:
Monday - Friday 8-6
Saturday 9-5 Sunday 10-4
CLOSED LABOR DAY, 9/2

Garden Thymes
September Edition
"September days have the warmth of summer in their briefer hours, but in their lengthening evenings a prophetic breath of autumn. The cricket chirps in the noontide, making the most of what remains of his brief life. The bumblebee is busy among the clover blossoms of the aftermath, and their shrill and dreamy hum hold the outdoor world above the voices of the song birds, now silent or departed."
