March 2026

Hello March...and Hello Spring!

Although winter really never settled in for us in the way we are accustom to, spring officially arrives for those of us in the northern hemisphere on Friday, March 20th (at 10:46am, give or take ;). As we know, March is typically one of our snowier months and we are all hoping that to be true this unusually warm and dry year. This is our chance to remind you, once again, the high value of dedicated Winter Watering. Also it is important to note that we need to pay extra attention to your maple trees this time of year, more information on the special needs of these trees can be found here.

SPRING BREAK

Looking for a creative activity for Spring Break? Sign up to drop in either March 17th or 19th between 9:30 and 11:30am and let the fun begin! Bring your children into a whimsical world where fairies frolic among miniature magical inhabitants. With each scoop of soil and every perfect pebble, they’ll not only nurture their own little garden but also nurture their creativity and love for nature. Every child will leave with a piece of magic that they can cherish and enjoy ($34.99 per Garden).

Why a Fairy Garden? Fairy gardens are more than just miniature landscapes; they are spaces where kids can connect with nature and let their imaginations blossom.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR A FEW GOOD PEOPLE

We receive many requests from our clients to hire their friends and family throughout the year. Since we are actively hiring now, we'd like to ask you to send anyone you feel would make an excellent addition to our team our way. Job postings are here on our website.

UPDATE YOUR CONTAINERS NOW

All of our new Pottery is being received now (Containers, Fountains, Statuary)! Come in for the very best selection now and get your porch, patio, and outdoor oasis ready for the growing season.

LET US DO IT FOR YOU

Our Custom Container Planting Services for homes and businesses are in full swing. This flexible service is available as a one-and-done or as a year 'round service.

This is how it works: We work with you to design your outdoor pots. Then we plant them for you according to the plan, we can refresh them throughout the year so you can enjoy living works of art all season long.

*We are now accepting container drop offs. You can drop off your outdoor containers or order your custom insert so we can design, plant, and care for them in our greenhouses until they're available for pick up in May. Check HERE for availability and more information.

THE GREENHOUSES ARE ALIVE!

What makes our plantings so unique?

We have a very talented team that works together in a pretty cool, local, independently owned nursery. We exercise that independence by mixing plants from our home grown plants with those from different growers. This allows us to create some very unique arrangements such as those found in our mixed succulent containers and our lush & 'famous' hanging baskets. This gives our plantings a much different look and one that has created quite a following over the years. We don't dismiss the tried and true either. Every spring we plant thousands of geraniums and all the other 'common' types as well!

If you need a break from winter or if you have serious spring fever, we are open Monday-Saturday so come take a stroll and visit the baby plants in our warm and humid greenhouses.

General Landscaping

Continue to Winter Water!!!! Some trees, specifically maples, start moving sap in early spring and without adequate water they can suffer from tip dieback.
If we have heavy snows make sure to gently knock off snow from below to prevent branch breakage.
Fertilization of lawns (March-June) is a highly recommended.
If you've had fire blight issues on your trees, now is the time to spray copper fungicide before the trees bloom.

Shrubs, Perennials & Bulbs

Cut back perennials and continue flowerbed cleanup.
Spring-flowering bulbs will be popping up soon. Enjoy the show!

Veggies & Herbs

Late March is the time to start cool season veggies outdoors. (Examples: Peas, Broccoli, Radishes, Beets, Kohlrabi, etc...).
Top dress your beds with compost/organic matter and lightly turn the soil.
