Snowdrop ~ Galanthus nivalis
|
The easy-to-grow Snowdrop will bloom very early - even if it's still winter - from a Fall-planted bulb. They thrive in well-drained soil, and prefer a sunny to lightly shaded area. Make plans to plant these bulbs this Fall, and enjoy years of late winter blooms - when we need them most!

In the Field
For our Fine Gardening Clients
|
Our extended winter season means that our Spring clean-up services, pansy pot installations, and soil preparation services may be delayed. We appreciate your patience as we let Mother Nature be our guide.
When we resume Spring clean-up activities, we prefer to leave up any hollow perennials and grasses 18 - 24" high, which house beneficial insects, even if they are still dormant. We encourage everyone to leave more of "nature's compost" in the form of leaves and other garden debris, when possible!

Ready, Set, Grow!
