Garden Notes

Gratitude can transform common
days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy,
and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.
- William Arthur Ward
John and I would like to thank you, our many loyal customers, for keeping our dream alive. Working with our staff of plant enthusiasts and our eager customers, we find ourselves surrounded by people who are not only contributing to the health and beauty of our planet, but are also some of the nicest people we know.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Toni and John

FORCING BULBS FOR INDOOR WINTER BEAUTY
This is the perfect time to start forcing bulbs
for color in your homes or for holiday gift-giving. Our Garden Store has a great selection of indoor bulbs, including hyacinth, amaryllis, and paperwhites, which we have in traditional white varieties as well as the cheerful yellow Narcissus Paperwhite 'Grand Soleil d'Or' (see image below).
THERE'S STILL TIME TO PLANT OUTDOOR BULBS
C
olorful Spring garden bulbs can still be planted in November and our Garden Store has many varieties to choose from. Come on in and we'll help you select the best bulbs for your garden and pots.
POTS AND CONTAINERS
Speaking of pots, we have 10 pallets of garden pottery arriving in the middle of November. Garden statuary and pots make wonderful gifts, especially when the pot is filled with bulbs or paired with a lovely plant or gift certificate.

AUTUMN PLANTING
We encourage all our customers to plant in the Fall. Trends have moved away from this, but a tree, shrub or hardy perennial planted in 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 temperatures are above 42 degrees. These Fall plantings will have a head start on plantings made next Spring and will need less water during the coming seasons.
