Welcome, May! The weather is warm and the soil is perfect for us all to get outside and work on projects.
Thinking about projects, have you thought
about
container gardening? They help add
diversity to both small and large gardens and are ideal if you are limited to a patio, deck, small yard or only have a small area of sun. They can provide instant color, a focal point, and serve both an ornamental and utilitarian
purpose by providing fresh herbs and vegetables close to your kitchen. We have a wide selection of pottery and plants (both ornamental and culinary) and organic potting mix here at Unity Church Hill Nursery
to
help you create your ideal planter. Want to learn more? Here is an
article in Rodale's Organic Life
with more information about container gardening.
Two other items that make a great addition to a garden, especially now as we are moving into warmer, drier weather,
are bird baths and fountains.
These water features not
only
attract birds but also beneficial insects and frogs to your garden.
In addition to creating a more habitable space for wildlife, water and its tranquil sound also creates a calm, peaceful space for us. Come take a look through our extensive inventory to find what will help turn your garden into a
peaceful oasis.
