Helping you to realize your garden visions for over a decade.
Dear Friends,   

What could possibly beat battling the crowds at the mall on Black Friday? Shopping for plants or other goodies for your garden at our GREEN FRIDAY SALE, without a doubt! We are excited this year to offer our alternative to the madness of Black Friday. Not just plants, but other gift items you've not seen here before! Plus, the weather this fall has been very cooperative and there is still time for planting. You can even come, take a look, and pick a favorite for Spring layaway! 

 

The sale will be held on Friday and Saturday, November 25 - 26, 2011 from 9 AM to 4 PM. A wide variety of items throughout the nursery will be discounted - whether you are looking to treat yourself or find the perfect gift for a green-thumbed friend, you are sure to find a great deal during the Green Friday sale!  As a bonus, printing the COUPON at the bottom of this newsletter will get you 10% off all other non-sale items (including statuary) that you wish to purchase!  

 

And, as a special thank you to our customers, a first ever offer of buy one $50 Gift Certificate and get a $20 one for free!  What great stocking stuffers!!!

 

Remember to wear your boots (we make a lot of mud here) and your warm coats! Delivery service is available if needed. We'll look forward to seeing you here at OGS!

 

Cheers,

Al Pfeiffer, Owner
Oriental Garden Supply

 


Late Season Planting

Shade trees, ornamental trees, and deciduous shrubs available at OGS can be planted right up until the ground freezes. Evergreens are not as happy about this and we discourage planting this late in the season except for really hardy ones like blue or Alberta spruces. We happen to have them on sale right now and you can use them inside for holiday decoration too! With adequate mulching and protection against winter burn, they are likely to do fine.  

 

Skip the fertilizer when planting and use B1 or root starter instead. You are aiming for good root growth as quickly as possible. The key thing is to make sure they all have adequate WATER. Some folks think that when the temperatures cool down, they don't need to water any more. Not so! Keep the water going until the ground freezes if we don't get enough rainfall.

  

As always, we are happy to offer planting and care advice about any of our specimens - just ask! 

 


Gift Ideas from OGS
  • Gift certificates - We can issue them in any amount you would like, but check out our first ever offer of Buy One $50 Gift Certificate, Receive One $20 Gift Certificate Free! Now, that is a real bargain!
  • Bonsai - Santa is bringing us some great little bonsai specimens - tigerbark ficus, Chinese elms, and junipers. 
    Tigerbark Ficus Bonsai
    6" Tigerbark Ficus Bonsai 
    5" Juniper Bonsai 
  • Fountain - either for your garden or a little one for inside?  We've got pumps in all sizes, basalt columns, polished stones, reservoirs. Whatever your idea is, we can help you put one together.
  • Bamboo accessories - We've got all sorts of bamboo fences, deer scarers, dippers, and such to accessorize your garden.
  • How about a fab T-shirt with the new OGS logo on it?

 

  • Plant layaway - If you are thinking of a new Japanese maple for your garden for next year, this is an ideal time to pick one out and have us store it for you until time to plant. The leaves are pretty much off and you can see the structure of the branches. 10% off with deposit of 25%. 

Note: Al will be making some scouting forays to the West Coast early in the new year. Let him know if you are looking for something special.

 



  • Own or gift one of Al's beautiful organic ceramic forms - These are natural forms inspired from leaves, seed pods, and natural erosion effects on stone and shifting sand.  The glazes are bright colors over porcelain ware on hand thrown pieces and cast forms from custom models.
  • Decorate a Jeans Dilly or Alberta Spruces - These little guys (which are bigger and more robust than the ones you will find at the local supermarket) will survive for a few weeks in the house, and then can go in the cold garage or a protected spot elsewhere to be planted when the weather permits. See us for the details!

   

  • Miscellaneous - As we put things away for the winter, we always come across some goodies that might need a place at your house! Come to the nursery and see what we've found.

Upcoming Events

Come see us at the Public Market on Dec. 4th, 11th, or 18th. We've got some #1 Jeans Dilly Alberta spruces for a special price of $14.95, along with some nice #3 Fat Alberts, hey hey hey!  Also, we will be bringing in some Bonsai if Santa comes early to OGS.  These will be priced from $20-25, and we will have varieties for  use inside and out. Other goodies, like Al's organic form ceramics - a must on everyone's holiday list - will also be available!
