Dear Friends,

      HAPPY FALL … IT IS HERE! The days are truly getting shorter. That is the ONLY thing I do not like about fall. Although the sun keeps warming things up in the afternoon, the evenings and mornings have been feeling very nice. Hopefully, our daytime temperatures will match the season soon!
      The timing is still perfect to aerate and over seed your lawn. We have specially blended grass seed mixes for our area. In addition, we have been receiving tree and shrub shipments weekly … fall is the perfect time to plant for nature also. The cooler weather gives the root systems time to grow even after the tops of plants are going dormant. Fall planting is a great way to help the plant's roots become well established before our next hot summer.

      Let's decorate! There are so many wonderful plants and natural harvest items to decorate with in the fall - which gives us endless options to create colorful displays. Come visit us for supplies and ideas. Plant, decorate and celebrate during this fall season!
