The Heat Is On!

July 2025

Summer Is Upon Us

As we enter July it is important to make sure supplemental watering is in place. This month usually means days will be long, temperatures will be high, and rain will undoubtedly become more scarce. Any newly planted trees, shrubs, perennials or grasses need extra attention to get established. Tip: If your plant is wilting and you give it extra water and it perks up, it should be good to go. If you give it extra water and it doesn't perk up, it may be getting too much water already. Either way it is time to adjust accordingly. Check out Pine Lane's Steps for Success to learn more about how much water your new plant material needs.

July Hours:

Monday - Friday 8-6

Saturday 8-5

Sunday 9-4

What's happening at PLN this month?

We know how it is. By July parents & caregivers are looking for something fun and new to do with the littles. Join us every Tuesday morning at 9am on our beautiful nature infused patio for Storytime and Popsicles! (July 1,8, 15, 22, 29).

On July 8th we will have a very special guest reader, Marlo Neuhaus-Franks. Marlo recently published her newest children's book, "Popsicles at Sea" that tells a story of a child named Megan who embarks on imaginative bedtime adventures at sea while wearing colorful, sea-themed pajamas. The story emphasizes the magic of imagination, the joy of adventure, and the sweetness of bedtime. Her books and coordinating color-your-own pajama sets will be available for purchase.
