Dear Friends,

      Summer is upon us!! Now on the calendar as well as the weather, and summer color plants continue to fill up our displays! June is National Perennial month and we have had specials each week. I hope you have been able to take advantage of some of those tried and true plants. Now as we move closer to July we will turn our focus onto more drought tolerant plants, such as natives. Additionally, we will continue to discuss the importance of pollinators and growing pollinator plants and gardens.
