September 2022

Hello September

Where did the summer go? And what a HOT summer it has been. Already we have seen 60 days at or above 90 and we can only hope that pattern breaks soon. Most plants are stressed with all the heat and are looking forward to cooler days ahead, as most of us are as well. 


Our END OF SUMMER SALE transitions to our annual FALL SALE this month and it gets even better with almost EVERYTHING priced to move. Come out and take advantage of the lowest prices of the season.


September Hours:

Is there anything easier than bulbs? We don't think so. They will be here at the end of the month and we will have many varieties of Spring Blooming Flowers.  Also back by popular demand we will have Garlic! Check our Garlic Blog for details on how easy it is to grow.

September Edition

"September days have the warmth of summer in their briefer hours, but in their lengthening evenings a prophetic breath of autumn.  The cricket chirps in the noontide, making the most of what remains of his brief life. The bumblebee is busy among the clover blossoms of the aftermath, and their shrill and dreamy hum hold the outdoor world above the voices of the song birds, now silent or departed." -
