Join us for a very special event

This is truly an event you won’t want to miss. Beyone the usual opportunities to buy regular and decorative Pumpkins, Fall Decor, and many varieties of Spring Blooming Bulbs & Fall Mums, this year we will be bringing back HawkQuest where you and your family will get up close and personal with several Birds Of Prey! These special creatures will be on our patio for continuous presentations and interactions from 11-2pm.


Additionally, and back by very popular demand, will be our Face Painter from Snappy Face Painting from 12-2pm. This is a free activity that delights children (and adults) of all ages! And if that’s all not enough, we will have Scavenger Hunt Pages for a self guided scavenger hunt , a Coloring Table, Photo Opportunities, fresh popped Popcorn, other sweet treats and drinks. 


See you all on the patio!

Especially for Fall

Mums & Fall Baskets will instantly add color to your entryway or patio & deck areas for the fall

As we wind down our gardens for this season, now is the time to plant Spring blooming bulbs for the next one

General Landscaping
  • It's fall cleanup time!
  • Add mulch to the base of trees & shrubs to prevent moisture evaporation
  • After a hard frost wrap your tree trunks to prevent winter sun scald damage (we have wrap for you in the gift shop)
  • Set up a schedule to winter water your trees. Landscape plantings will need to be watered twice a month when temperatures are above 40 degrees throughout the winter. Please keep in mind that snow does not count as watering unless we have a very heavy spring snow
Shrubs, Perennials & Bulbs
  • Start dreaming of riots of color in the spring by planting spring blooming bulbs: tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, crocus, and giant alliums!
  • Cut back perennial flowers - if the foliage is disease free, add the cuttings to your compost pile
  • Dig up tender dahlias and gladiolas and store for next year
  • Apply mulch around your roses to protect them through the winter months
Veggies, Fruit & Herbs
  • Continue to enjoy the fruits of your labor while the weather holds 
  • Clean veggie beds and apply a moderate (1" - 3") layer of compost
  • Extend your season by adding a cold frame around your cool season crops
Annuals
  • Rough till your annual beds and add a layer of compost
  • Toss out spent summer annual plantings
  • Clean pottery and move to storage
