This Month

Winter mode has settled in, and it’s time to relax and catch up on lost sleep. Since the weather is apt to keep us indoors, it’s also time for garden planning. The electronic age has cut down on the paper catalogs arriving at our door. Instead, now we get all cozy with our laptops and lose ourselves surfing the net. It’s amazing how many hours disappear reading great garden blogs, which transport us by links to the best web catalogs for all the “must have’s” of 2012!

January is a really good time to consider what plants and structural elements contribute to the winter landscape. Take advantage of pleasant milder days as they occur by taking a rejuvenating walk (to keep from getting rusty). If there is an Arboretum or Public Garden nearby, why not pay a visit to see what winter interest is on display. Even a quiet walk through the woods will provides lessons on natural design. When you make your new plant lists, you will be more apt to select plants with winter interest…those with exfoliating bark, colored branches, unique form, or evergreen color.

2012...A New Year, A New Garden Awaits

We’re so excited! We’ve added dozens of new plant choices to our online catalog to inspire you. Supplies are limited on a number of selections, and we try to note this when we have 10 or fewer available. Remember we are a little nursery which grows a wide variety of plants, but not always many of each. Order early for no regrets!
