A Note from Scott and Marsha

We had a moment a few weeks ago that had our staff at the garden center in stitches. As we are working on projects, every day can look different. And this was one of those days when we needed Sean, our walking plant encyclopedia guru and just all around funny guy, to jump in and paint. But he didn't have a paint shirt so Ann found him one in the closet. Apparently she is not a good judge of size because when he returned with the shirt on, he looked like he had stuffed himself into it like Mr. Incredible and started flexing! I hate that I missed it because Ann and Caroline were talking about it days later and still crying. Because I'm not always at the Garden Center but in our offices, it always brings great joy when I hear the stories of good times. Some people work in toxic environments and have to struggle with difficult relationships. I hate when I hear that. So when I see everyone laughing and genuinely enjoying one another, able to laugh at themselves and tease one another in good fun, it really brings me joy. No, we aren't all perfect around here, but most days, we are pretty agreeable and like to have fun! Life is too short to take it so seriously. Enjoy the moments, laugh with those you love/work with and for garden's sake, come buy our plants and flex your muscles as you plant them.

FLOWERING TREES HAVE ARRIVED!
|
|
FLOWERING
CHERRY TREES
So you won't get any cherries out of these beauties, but you will enjoy gorgeous and fragrant blossoms in spring, and glossy, dark green foliage in summer that provides amazing shade. We love these trees and know you will, too! For more info about them, check out this week's blog post!

DECIDUOUS MAGNOLIAS
Deciduous Magnolias are some of the first trees to bloom in the spring. In contrast to its evergreen cousin, the deciduous magnolia does not keep its lovely green foliage through the winter. However, these trees are a great choice and come in many sizes and varieties.

DOGWOOD
VARIETIES
More than just the state tree of North Carolina, the dogwood is a stunning and long-lasting bloomer. Blooms are white, pink and even dark pink! They don't grow too large, so they are an excellent choice for your landscape and smaller lawns. We have a few varieties to choose from, including the Kousa Scarlet Fire.
