Endless Summer, Twist and Shout - Celebrate Your Mother!

These beauties have been forced into bloom for Mother's Day, but because these are the ever-bloom varieties, they will continue to bloom all season long! (We have 'Blushing Bride' too!)

We think your mom will love them!

Cold-hardy to Zone 4. They will grow to be 3' to 5' high and wide and they have the unique ability to bloom on both old and new wood, ensuring consistent flowering year after year.

The perfect spot to plant these shrubs are anywhere with afternoon shade. They can take full sun, but they will look "wilty" and cause you anxiety when exposed to hot afternoon sun.

Mama Gonna Knock You Out!

Don't forget it's Mother's Day on Sunday. What are you going to get your mom to let her know how much you love and appreciate her?

How about an 'Knock Out' rose?

Why a 'Knock Out' rose? First, they are so easy! You can't kill them. And they bloom and bloom and bloom. (The one planted here at the nursery was beautiful all summer long (thoroughly neglected by us) and still blooming in November last year.)

They are shade tolerant and resistant to black spot, mildew and rust. (Easy!) In late winter or early spring prune the rose plant back to about twelve to fourteen inches above the ground. The rose will bloom on the new growth. Do not fertilize in winter. A little mulch or compost in the spring is all it needs.

Make your Garden Green - Rain Barrels $145

These sturdy, handsome rain barrels have a screen to keep litter and critter alike out, and they can also easily be hooked up to the down spout from your gutters.

Matching stands are $60.

Annuals!

The greenhouses are full of beautiful and unusual annuals. We divide the annuals into shade and full sun and by color for your convenience. We also will plant up custom containers - you choose the pot, you choose the plants, and we'll do the dirty work for you.

Enkianthus

"At the end of spring, underneath the small umbrella of leaves hang lovely, bell-shaped flowers with conspicuous red veins. Deadheading spent flowers should increase the number of flowers on young plants, however, we have never done it and our shrubs are beautiful and abundantly flowering every year. Apart from its unique blooms there is another show-off feature: its autumn colour. The leaves, before they fall off, turn to bright red, deep orange or butter yellow, depending on location. Red-vein need not be pruned, only the branches that, for instance, due to excess fertilizing went bananas and grew too long, may be trimmed. Mature plants can be kept compact by trimming immediately after flowering. Give it fully acidic, fertile soil that will always be moist but well drained, and a sunny spot. Fully hardy to zone 5."

Regeneration CSA practices regenerative agriculture.

Here is a definition of regenerative agriculture from Farmers Without Borders:

“Regenerative agriculture is any kind of farming that enables the restorative capacity of the earth. Regenerative agriculture preserves or improves the fertility of the soil, creates an abundance of food and other agricultural products, contributes to vibrant communities and equitable economies, and respects the ecology of the natural world. Fertile soil helps create nourishing food and, in turn, healthy people and robust communities.”

Custom Container Service

Our greenhouses are finally full with the first delivery of annuals! (Everyone who has come into the nursery has been asking for them.)

The official frost-free date is May 15th (the unofficial one is Mother's Day).

This year, and we will be offering a custom container planting service. You chose the pot, you choose the plants, and let us do the dirty work!

We can make you container gardens with annuals, perennials, vegetables, herbs, or a combination. We'll help you make a stunning container for your house or as a Mother's Day gift.
