Fall is a time for transitions and we are transitioning Garden Notes into the Garden Gazette. It will be delivered into your in-box when each issue of the printed Gazette comes out. Garden Notes is now delivered to your in-box as a monthly reminder of up-coming sales and events in between the Gazette. We hope this will bring more consistency between the printed and e-mailed newsletters.
Another transition is I will no longer be the editor. I am moving on from Christianson's to a new job in Seattle. It's been a pleasure sending out this newsletter to you and writing my introductory article each month. I hope you found my posts informative and entertaining. I'm sure whoever takes this fine newsletter from here will provide you with interesting content in their own voice, as the Nursery continues to grow and evolve.
Thank you all for your support these past three years.
Sincerely,
Debra Lacy, Editor
Certified Professional Horticulturist

PRIMROSE ANTIQUES & GIFTS
Q. What happens when two guys from Manhattan get lost on an apple-picking adventure in upstate New York?
A. They buy a two-hundred-year-old-mansion, foster 60 goats and, with the help of new friends and neighbors, start making goat milk soap.
From there, the Beekman Boys were off and running. Their company, Beekman 1802, has grown into a phenomenal success. In addition to goat milk skin care products, they now sell artisanal cheeses, kitchenware, bedding, rugs, cookbooks, clothing, and much more.
Beekman 1802 is now available at Primrose!
Made with natural goat's milk and botanical-based ingredients, these wonderful skin care products come in a variety of lovely fragrances, are free of chemicals (including parabens and sulfates) and are made in the USA.
In addition to Beekman 1802 soaps and hand creams, Primrose also carries their delightful book
'The Bucolic Plague: How Two Manhattanites Became Gentlemen Farmers''

AUTUMN PLANTING
We encourage all our customers to plant in the Fall. Trends have moved away from this recommendation, but trees, shrubs or hardy perennials planted from Autumn to early Winter will put on some root growth and settle in before it begins to put on top growth in the Spring. In fact, roots will continue to grow throughout the winter whenever the temperatures are above 42 degrees. Fall planting gives plants a head start on growth and plants will need less water during the following dry, summer season.

FALL BULBS ARE IN!
A
colorful Spring garden planted in tulips and daffodils requires planning and planting in October and November. Our Spring flowering bulbs are now being stocked in the Garden Store. Information is on the boxes about early, mid-season and late flowering varieties that will make it possible to extend the season from late March to May. We have many sought-after varieties to choose from, so don't hesitate to come in for the best selection.
