The nursery re-opens on Friday the 29th. We have grown our own Christmas trees for many years, but that comes to an end with this year. Our wreaths, swags, roping, etc will be available here too. Many of the items are made here at the nursery.
All our trees, shrubs and perennials are put away for the winter. Hopefully we have an early spring. The Fall has been exceptional dry which may lead to a difficult winter for all the plants, including our native ones. Evergreens in particular need moisture through the fall to help prevent “winter burn”.
2024 was a challenging year for us as we did not have enough help to complete all our projects. Looking forward to a much better 2025. Several projects already lined up.
We’ll be actively looking for people to help us this early spring.
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.
