The nursery and greenhouses will be open this Friday and Saturday AM. The Nursery will close after Saturday until Nov. 29th. We still have a good inventory of shrubs as well as trees and perennials.
Looks like an early fall this year – the plants need a ‘rest’ from the extreme heat we had this summer.
Although most plants are done putting on new growth, their root systems will be hard at work storing “energy’ for next spring.
The 2024 season has been different, not many customers with new projects. Most are maintaining their existing landscapes. Very few new house stars this year.
We are still very busy, fortunately.
We’ve been involved with many water projects including large ponds, back yard reflection pools, pondless waterfalls, and even interior pools. Water features give hours of enjoyment and adds another dimension to your yard.
We also have water lilies available at the nursery.
We are surrounded by plants that are not native to our area. Many of these plants are considered invasive and have become a serious problem for all of us. Invasive insects are also on the rise and even invasive worms. These “snake worms” are here to stay and we need to learn to manage them. To date, there are no “wormicides”(a made-up name) to control them. We encounter them about every where we go already.
We may be able to help you control troublesome insects, scales and fungi attacking your plants, native and non-native.
The emerald ash borer is killing ash trees around us now. Be observant, look around your property for these dying/ dead ash trees as they may create a danger to your buildings or family.
We no longer do forest management plans for current use as we’ve had to focus on other aspects of our business. We do however, take care for shade trees and small tracts of forests. Basically “Urban Forestry”.
Plant care involves pruning, fertilizing, pest control, soil amendments, and other treatments of shrubs and trees. If your tree or shrub is in poor soil, we can remove that soil with our air spade and replace it with good amended soil with out harming the tree. Your plant’s health will improve.
The use of specialized fertilizers at appropriate times will help tree defenses against pests. Currently this is one of the best treatments against the new Beech Leaf Disease coming our way soon.
Our Christmas season starts the day after Thanksgiving. We’ll have wreaths, roping, sprays, swags and trees for sale. Many of the products are made by us here at the greenhouses. Our Christmas trees are grown by us just a few miles from here – mostly Fraser Fir. We close when all our products are gone, usually with in two weeks, so please shop early.
Many customers call in their orders before Thanksgiving.
We’re sorry to say this will be our last “Christmas Season” at the nursery.
